Jozi from the sky
Last month, blogger Heather Mason (and American suburbanite living in Joburg and blogging at 2Summers.net) was invited to join a special Instagram meetup...in the skies above Jozi.

Heather writes:

"I was invited to participate in a mysterious “Instawalk” hosted by Vodacom. (If you don’t know what an Instawalk is, read here.) The invitation was shrouded in secrecy. I signed on right away, sensing something extraordinary..."

Heather agreed to let us share some of the wonderful images of Joburg from a helicopter. See more pics and read the full story here.

Stay in Joburg

33 Melville Road is an authentic and stately 1950s Johannesburg mansion, ideally located in the exclusive northern suburb of Hyde Park, close to popular restaurants, Sandton and Hyde Park shopping centres, famous art galleries and the Gautrain. 

The interiors blend classic and contemporary South Africa with a touch of eccentricity and a quirky use of colour. These delightful spaces ooze personality and capture the vibrancy of “Jozi” and refined luxury in one unique experience.
