Kempton Park: Tourism, shopping and much more!

Kempton Park is a city located in Ekurhuleni in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. It’s also situated close to one of the country’s largest townships, Tembisa. Established back in 1903, various suburbs make up the area known as modern-day Kempton Park including Birchleigh, Allen Grove, Nimrod Park and others.

Kempton Park is a prime spot for business- and leisure travellers, especially since it’s so easily accessible from OR Tambo International Airport. Numerous conference venues and accommodation options can also be found in Kempton Park, regardless of one’s budget or needs. And since there are also a variety of shopping malls, eateries, movie theatres and more to discover, it’s safe to say that Kempton Park caters for the curious, whether local or visitor.

No visit to Kempton Park (or Johannesburg, for that matter) is complete without a visit to Emperors Palace, the royal casino complex and prime draw card of the area. Located right next to the airport, Emperors Palace offers enjoyment in the form of a health and beauty spa, a spacious casino with unmatched gaming enjoyment, fine dining locations, unforgettable entertainment choices, and much more.

Those who wish to be out and about can try the 18-hole course at Kempton Park Golf Club. Characterised as a typical Parklands golf course, it’s also known as a friendly and easy playing course accompanied by a vast selection of animal- and bird life (which forms the inspiration for the club logo).
