We flew into JoBurg on Christmas Day and arrived in the morning. We stopped at the airport travel clinic for some Malanil. Even though the malaria risk was going to be low we thought better to be safe with the kids. We didn't see too many mosquitos over the course of the trip. The medication was pricey but there were no side effects whatsoever. 2 months later no malaria so I think we are safe. We found a guest house literally across the street from the airport. Emerald Guest House was nice. It reminded me of backpacking days, helpful people, simple clean rooms. They gave us very good directions on how to find Gold Reef City. We went the day after Christmas and it was hot and crowded but we didn't have to wait too long for rides. It is a pretty decent typical park with plenty of rides and decent restaurants. On the whole So. Africa was pretty cheap compared to Europe and the US.
