Description

Spend a full day in “Jacaranda City” (so called because of the many Jacaranda trees which transform the city streets into blankets of magnificent purple every October).

Serving as the seat of the administrative branch of the South African government, Pretoria is one of the country’s three Capital cities. Founded in 1855, it was named after the Voortrekker leader, Andries Pretorias. A regal, quiet city, its interesting history is hidden between magnificent towers, classical architecture, and amphitheatres.

Itinerary

Upon collection from your hotel, you will receive a pre-departure briefing from your personal tour guide before departing for Pretoria.

Our first stop is the massive granite structure of the Voortrekker Monument. Situated prominently on a hilltop, it commemorates the Voortrekkers – explorers who left the Cape Colony in search of new opportunity between 1835 and 1854.

Another hilltop site awaits in the form of Freedom Park. Beautiful views and award-winning architecture house a memorial which lists the names of South Africans who died in the first and second world wars, as well as the apartheid era. Next, we visit Paul Kruger Museum, which is the historical residence of Boer leader and South African president Paul Kruger.

We find the historical city centre at Church Square, where the first church was built in 1855 before our final stop at the Union Buildings.  The imposing building that houses the official seat of government was designed by renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker.

Your guide will return you to your hotel at the end of the tour.
