It’s known as the jewel of the south and we can understand why. Most of you probably haven’t heard of it before so it is a real hidden gem. This environment really showcases Jozi in all her green glory. Plus the youngsters can have some much needed outdoors fun, all, day, long, while you get in your weekly workout.

4. Window shopping down the streets of Parkhurst
Place: 4th Avenue from 6th to 14th Streets, Parkhurst.
