Wow what a steal! Be sure to check out their deals on accommodations as well as hiring a car. I find package deals are often the cheapest. This place has much history, starting with the discovery of gold in 1887. Dams were built in 1904 and still stand today. They are a popular picnic site. Soon after, several trees were planted, British and Jewish settlers made up most of the population, and in 1906 it was finally declared the township of Benoni. Visit the Benoni Museum to learn more of the extensive history. Benoni is well known for its large horse population, since horse racing was the first event introduced to this land. Horses were brought in from England to race. Built in 1907, Benoni's was one of the largest, most breathtaking tracks of its time. Hold on sports fans, we have a real treat for you. Benoni is now also home to a World Cup Stadium. Come join the team, and kick off this new tradition. A quite refreshing stop on this journey would have to be "Shades of Green". It is a restaurant/ tea garden, and lives up to its name. They are all about organic and you'll never want to leave the relaxing picturesque atmosphere. Benoni is known for its lovely countryside and roaming giraffes. It's always a great time to go on safari here. These wild adventures are voted number one by National Geographic. In 1975 Benoni also graced us with an amazing, Academy Award winning actress, "Charlize Theron".
Born on August 7, and raised here on a farm, this only child is well known to the American Film Industry. She started a little Ballerina, and is now an American icon. Whether you are looking for wildlife, sports, or star-struck curiosity, Benoni is an adventure to remember.
