Carlton Centre: Top of Africa

The 50th floor is home to the “Top of Africa” observation deck, which remains the most famous viewpoint in the city. From this height, the “man-made forest” of the northern suburbs looks like a green carpet, while to the south, the massive yellow mine dumps remind you of the city’s origins.
