Warmbaths
On the national road north towards Zimbabwe is the flat area
known as the Springbok Flats, part of the Great Rift Valley. About
80 miles (125km) north of Johannesburg on the edge of the Flats
lies the town of Warmbaths, named for the hot mineral springs that
rise to the surface there. The spring yields about 20,000 litres of
water, enriched with sodium chloride, calcium carbonate and other
minerals every hour. The town has now become a popular spa and
holiday resort, considered to be one of the most modern of its kind
in the world. It has a large indoor pool with underwater jets,
outdoor hot and cold swimming pools, wave pools, and water
slides.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
