Whether you're after designer clothes, the latest books or DVDs, high-quality African art, or glamorous gifts, Johannesburg offers outstanding shopping opportunities. In fact, many people, particularly from other African countries, come here with the express aim of shopping. Dozens of malls, galleries, and curio shops are scattered throughout the city, often selling the same goods at widely different prices. It's best to shop around.
The Chameleon Village is a lively African market with more than 200 vendors offering jewlery, home products, and artwork, as well as four restaurants with live music on weekends. There's also the Lion and Tiger Park (R100) and the Reptile and Snake Park (R100).
The Welwitschia Country Market sells handmade arts and crafts, which make for great souvenirs, among other gifts and trinkets at around 40 shops and stalls in the shade of giant trees. There are three restaurants and a beer garden with live music on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's especially bustling on weekends, as there is a children's playground area. There is ample free parking and you can find detailed directions on the website.
