What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Enjoy some world class and cheap restaurants, go hiking on the weekend, take a trip to Madikwe or the Drakensbergs. - Aug 2023
We joined the Country Club Johannesburg for R20,000 a year for the family to access their golf courses and facilities. Best decision of my life. Never again will I have access to such comfort and community (wine tasting nights, Friday evening bouncy castles, camp-outs) in an entirely safe environment. - Jun 2022
South Africans are very friendly. We socialize with other expats, with our neighbors, with friends met thrugh the kids' activities, via adult sports activities, etc. Follow your interests and you'll easily find friends. - Apr 2017
