Tour Description
More and more visitors are making their way to Gold Reef City. The complex, made up of theme park, Apartheid museum and casino facilities has proved to be a winning combination.
International travellers savour the offering of traditional African music, dance and history found throughout the complex. It is a comprehensive and colourful depiction of mining life at the turn of the nineteenth century. With Gumboot dancing that can be enjoyed in three daily displays at points throughout the town.
The underground mine tour takes place in the world's richest and deepest gold mines and go down 57 levels or 3 500 metres. Over its 90-year lifespan the mine has produced some 1.4 million kilograms of gold, blasted out of the ground by 30 000 miners. As you step out the lift underground, you look ahead to a whitewashed tunnel and walk down two-metre high tunnels, with a hardhat and a torch. There is even an underground pub if you feel like some refreshments.
