Gauteng is the smallest province in South Africa (in terms of size only), having only 1.4 percent of all the land area. However, it is very urbanized and it has the highest population of all South African provinces. Gauteng province was named in the year 1994, when it was formed after South Africa became a free country and the first democratic elections.

If you are inclined to believe that the Gauteng province is not significant to Africa and does not really describe the African experience, you would be incorrect. Gauteng is the central economical hub of Africa and also offers Gauteng animal adventure, safari tours and a variety of Gauteng animal lodges. Gauteng offers a piece of the Africa that everybody wants to see.

This little province can offer you both the thrills and incredible experiences that only Africa can, but it can also offer you the biggest shopping malls in the Southern hemishere and world class entertainment. These are the most important two reasons you should definitely take time to visit this incredible part of the world.

Where better to see wild animals than in Africa? Gauteng animal lodges can offer you the luxury and the privacy that you only have at home, spiced with Africa. Depending on your specific need, you can even witness wild animals running around you or possibly within direct reach going on an open air game drive.  These game drives can be so exciting and thrilling that you sense a definate scare within your inner being.  Some travelers and adventurers have even experienced their safari landrovers/safari bush vehicles being rocked.  (This of course only happens when going with inexperienced adventure tour providers or staying at inexperienced Gauteng game lodges.

Lighten up! Okay, that may be hard advice for anyone who hears that phrase on the job, but humor in the workplace is more than possible and without getting served a pink slip either. A good laugh now and then will do wonders for you, as smiling and laughing lowers your stress levels (a godsend in the sales industry), wins you a friendly reputation, and helps your usually tense coworkers and bosses unwind (and thus not take their frustrations out on you). Humor on the job does plenty for your career, but there are some things to know before becoming the office comedian.

Keep in mind that there are some jobs where humor isn’t a good idea. There’s always exceptions to every bit of advice you’ll hear, so have the good judgment to know when your workplace shouldn’t involve humor.

One of the biggest rules with fun in the workplace is to avoid controversy when you’re joking around on the job. It’s stifling, but no one can deny that the current atmosphere of most businesses just isn’t friendly towards controversial or racy humor. Stay away from joking about politics, race and religion, for starters.

Sex is another dangerous topic, though it may be easier to make jokes about sex without offending others, so long as you’re aware of the exact definition of sexual harassment in your workplace and stay well within the lines of decency.

Never poke fun at other people within your organization, as you’re trying to win friends among the people you work with, not alienate them. If you can’t help yourself, be extremely careful with exceptions to the rules and be cautiously creative if you must have some fun with the topics you should avoid.  Read more...
