| 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 career, 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. |
