Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, South Africa, Midrand is now part of the city of Johannesburg's metropolitan district after nearly 20 years of existing as an independent municipality until 2000. The area has grown significantly in recent years and is now quite modernised. Midrand largely revolves around business and is the home of the Gallagher Estate Conference Centre, which is among the biggest combined exhibition and conference centres in all of South Africa. Additionally, it serves as the centre of racing in the country and boasts Kyalami Racetrack, which often hosts the South African Grand Prix and has earned international recognition. Those looking for Midrand hotels during events at the track are advised to book early. Among other attractions, Glen Austin Bird Sanctuary features some of the most beautiful and rare bird species to be found in the region including bru bru shrikes, crimson-breasted shrikes and helmeted guinea fowl, among many others.
