If you’re lucky enough to be spending Father’s Day in Johannesburg, you’ve got plenty of ways to make it special. From great food to fun-filled adventures, here are some of the best places to go and things to do to treat Dad on his big day.
1. Braai & chill at Emmarentia Dam.
Pack the cooler box, grab the tongs, and head to Emmarentia Dam for a laid-back picnic and braai. It’s a peaceful green space right in the heart of the city, and a great option for families who want to enjoy Father’s Day in Johannesburg outdoors. You can also rent a canoe or take a stroll through the nearby Johannesburg Botanical Gardens.
2. Feast at a Father’s Day buffet.
Johannesburg’s restaurants go all out for Father’s Day. Places like The Fairway Hotel, Carnivore Restaurant, and Moyo Zoo Lake often offer special Father’s Day menus or buffets. Whether your dad loves a hearty roast or something a bit more gourmet, a Sunday feast is a classic way to celebrate.
3. Craft beer tastings at local breweries.
If your dad enjoys a good beer, treat him to a craft beer tasting at one of Joburg’s top breweries. Mad Giant, Capital Craft, and Brewhogs offer a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and pub-style meals – perfect for an easy-going Father’s Day in Johannesburg.
