What to expect

The Top of Africa is a viewing deck at the top of the 50-storey, 223m-high Carlton Centre in Johannesburg. It offers stunning 360-degree views over Johannesburg, and on a clear day, you can see as far as the capital city of Pretoria. The viewing deck is a great place to learn about the city's history and see its lovely suburbs. There are also helpful information boards and an exhibition of photographs about Gandhi and his connection with the city and South Africa's turbulent past. The Carlton Centre, home of the Top of Africa, is a bustling centre for commerce and culture, with numerous shops and restaurants providing a rich cultural backdrop
