| Located right opposite the 'Festival Mall'
is the Kempton Park Country Club with it's 18 hole, par
72 golf course. Of moderate difficulty, this is the place where
Ernie Els started his carreer, now arguably one of the best
golfers in the world. |

| Interesting to be seen will be the 'Africa
Theme Park' to be completed by October 2008 just outside
Kempton Park. The proposed park, to be built to the tune of
over 4 billion Rand will be the biggest entertainment complex
on the African continent. It will boost three hotels, entertainment
areas, shopping malls and residential areas among others. It
is expected that over 2.5 million people will visit the park
annually. |
