Mobile home rental at Johannesburg is well sign posted but if you are after a vehicle that can take you places, go to the campervan Johannesburg depot, which is situated approximately 15 minutes from Oliver Thambo International Airport. The airport used to be known as Jan Smuts International airport but the name changing common with socialist and communist doctrine was implemented and so it became OR Tambo, after the terrorist freedom fighter and ANC leader. The general public, especially the tax payers were upset at the obvious waste of money in renaming of places parks and roads and many have suggested that the money could used more constructively.
Be sure to check that your gps has the current maps as many roads and byways have been changed to more revolutionary heroes’ names. Malebongwe for instance use to be called Barry Hertzog, this major arterial road takes you all the way to the Cradle of mankind. The whole region is a must for any foreign visitor.

Plus the actual Cradle centre has a history and exhibits to enthrall you and friends.
