TRAVEL TIPS

Gallagher Convention Centre

Africa LED is taking place at the modern Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg. It is based in Midrand, which is easily accessible from neighbouring countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe with direct connections into the OR Tambo International Airport, which is not far from the Gallagher Convention Centre by the Gautrain (a modern high speed train) and a newly upgraded freeway infrastructure.

OR Tambo International Airport

Gallagher Convention Centre is just 45 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport, the country’s leading air terminal, serving 30,000 travellers daily. Airport-approved operators provide train, taxi, bus and shuttle services between the terminal and Gallagher. There is quite a bit of traffic in and around Johannesburg so train (Gautrain) can be the most effective and quick transport method.

Train (Gautrain)

The Gautrain has a station at the OR Tambo Airport, Sandton, and Midrand where the Gallagher Convention Centre is located. Single fares can be purchased at the station. Or a Gold Card can be purchased for R12 which can be topped-up with credit and used on journeys (gaining a small discount on fares).
Peak single fares are priced as follows:
To/From OR Tambo & Sandtown R125
To/From OR Tambo & Midrand R135
To/From Sandton & Midrand R26

Pat a tame cheetah at the Lion Park, enjoy the valley of the waves at Sun City or a Day out at Gold Reef City Theme Park Rates are dependant on time, distance and location.

Sandton

The venue is half an hour from the Sandton area, which is an ideal location for international visitors to stay during their visit. It has a large choice of hotels, fantastic selection of restaurants at Nelson Mandela Square, shopping and night life. Midrand also offers accommodation, but has less amenities.
You can take the Gautrain to and from the venue, or if you wish to take a taxi they are available and we recommend you to do this through your hotel.

Sight-seeing

Why not take time after the exhibition to see some of the breath taking sites Johannesburg has to offer and soak up the beautiful winter sun. Whether it is a safari trip just a couple of hours drive from Johannesburg or a visit to the Aparheid Museum.
