Ivory Park

Introduction

Ivory Park is a densely populated residential suburb of Midrand, in South Africa's Gauteng province. It sits within Region A of the City of Johannesburg, so your visit places you in the Johannesburg metropolitan area rather than in a separate town.

This is a residential neighbourhood first and foremost, so come expecting everyday urban life in one of Gauteng's busier suburbs rather than a resort or tourist district. Its position within Midrand puts you in the northern part of the Johannesburg metro, between the city and the capital region.

Three days in Ivory Park

Day one: Start by getting your bearings in Ivory Park, a neighbourhood in Midrand, Gauteng. Take your time walking through the streets to understand the layout of this part of South Africa, and use the day to settle into the rhythm of the area before planning anything further.

Day two: Travel from Ivory Park towards Johannesburg, the nearby city that anchors the wider region. Spend your time comparing the feel of the city with the neighbourhood you started in, and return to Ivory Park in the evening.

Day three: Use your final day to revisit the parts of Ivory Park and Midrand that interested you most. If you have time, make one more trip into Johannesburg before you leave Gauteng, so your three days cover both the neighbourhood and the city.
