About This Experience
Discover the beauty and history of Pretoria — South Africa's administrative capital and the "Jacaranda City." Visit the magnificent Union Buildings, the official seat of the South African government, with their stunning terraced gardens overlooking the city. Explore the Voortrekker Monument, a massive granite structure honouring the pioneer settlers. Walk historic Church Square, visit the ornate Palace of Justice, and learn about the Boer Wars and South Africa's complex political history. When the jacarandas bloom (October-November), the city transforms into a purple wonderland.
