Immersions: group tours of inner-city Johannesburg
Bring your school group or company team to inner-city Johannesburg for a day with our local guides. You meet people who live and work here, see Ponte City up close and talk about what you find.
Choose your group
School groups and company teams
We plan each day around the group, from Grade 9 learners on school tours to a whole company office on corporate team days.
School immersions
Field trips in the neighbourhoods around Ponte City, in Berea and Yeoville, planned to fit what your learners are studying.
Corporate and team experiences
Immersions, year-end functions and team days for companies, with local guides and local partners. Some teams also give time to a community project.
How it works
Planned around your question
Every immersion starts with a question from your group. We then plan the day in the inner city around it.
Many groups start at Ponte City, because the building tells a lot about Johannesburg in one place. To see it for yourself first, join the Ponte Tower Experience.
- Guides who live in the neighbourhoods you visit
- Local partners and community projects, if your group wants them
- Time at Ponte City, where Dlala Nje is based
- Groups from school learners to a whole company office
