Fascinating wildlife adventures and sprawling theme parks offer a range of activities for the whole family. Let Tempest see to your Gauteng car rental needs while you plan the perfect holiday! Need some sightseeing tips? Taking a trip to some of these destinations will captivate kids and adults alike…

See the Big Five at the Johannesburg zoo!
Want the opportunity to see all the "Big Five" animals in the flesh? Take your family to the Johannesburg Zoo in Parktown and they’ll spend hours gazing at lions, cheetahs, buffalo, elephants, rhinos – and maybe even a polar bear or two! Special evening tours give visitors the chance to experience the zoo's bustling nightlife, when the park’s nocturnal inhabitants come out to play! Kids will feel like they’re travelling through a secret world as sneaky creatures dart in and out of the undergrowth. Need an escape from the frenetic city? Head to the zoo for a day of wild fun!

It's all fun and games at Carnival City Offering an exciting fusion of entertainment for both adults and kids, Carnival City Casino and Entertainment World is a wonderland for all ages! Adventure rides, games’ rooms and cinemas will keep older kids entertained for hours, while fully supervised crèches for the little ones give adults the chance to try their luck at the casino. After you’ve cashed in your chips, enjoy a bit of retail therapy at the venue’s exclusive boutiques, or relax over a delicious meal at a top restaurant. Open 24 hours a day, the fun never ends at Carnival City…

Have a close encounter with the king of the jungle For a truly impressive wildlife experience, head off to the Lion Park near Fourways for the chance to touch a lion cub! Kids will absolutely adore the little cubs, and will have the chance to interact with them, under supervision, in the Cub World area. Take a stroll around the park and you’ll spot the extremely rare white lion, as well as cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and antelope. And, after working up an appetite feeding the giraffes, you can relax in an oasis of your own as you enjoy refreshments at the restaurant. From now on, it’s a lion cub your kids will be wanting – not a kitten!

Head to the swamps to spot some crocs Croc City Crocodile Farm is home to more than 800 crocodiles, and a trip to the park will give you the chance to see these fierce predators up close! From tiny hatchlings to enormous adults, the vicious creatures captivate onlookers, and visitors are encouraged to view the feeding sessions at weekends. Vacuum-packed crocodile meat can be purchased at the park, but beware - this delicacy is only for the truly daring! For those who are not so adventurous, hop into you Tempest Gauteng car rental vehicle and nip off to the closest restaurant offering good old beef.
