Hey guys,

I'm heading back to South Africa but was looking for advice on accomodation and activities while I'm in Johannesburg. I've been there before but I've never stayed in the city before, I've usually just skipped over it and headed wherever I need to go but this time I need to stay in town for 1 maybe 2 days (flights pending).
I've had Mbizi Backpakers recommended to me, does anyone know this, any comments?

I'm very comfortable in Cape Town but Jo'Burg's reputation makes me a little more cautious being a white female travelling on her own. Are there are recommendations on safer areas, or on the flip side, places I should strongly avoid. (and thanks in advance but I don't need personal safety advice...)

Look forward to hearing your opinions,

Thanks,
I'm a regular for visiting trip advisor pre-new places too so I might give them another look this time around.
