Once In Joburg

JJohannesburg is the New York of Africa. It is the gateway to the most famous national park in Africa known as Kruger. Absorbing both African and international influences, it has its own culturally rich identity. Also known as Egoli, translated to the City of Gold, it was built around the gold rush in the 1900s. It is now leading the way in fashion, music, art and finance. We choose to be in the cultural hub of Braamfontein because we believe that the area gives the most real vibe of central Johannesburg - where you can experience everyday life surrounded by students, travellers, academics, alchemists and artists. Once in Joburg is a way of life that incorporates both long stay and short stay travelers that range from students and young corporate to budget backpackers and digital professionals on the move. SLEEP, EAT, EXPLORE at ONCE IN JOBURG, located in the vibrant student area of Braamfontein. It is surrounded by skyscrapers, street vendors, art, many great bars and restaurants.
