It was just enough to have a glimpse in Pretoria. The Union building was closed when we arrived, so we just had to see it from outside the fences.

Gilbert was an excellent guide and we really enjoyed the sites we went to. We were given plenty of free time to explore each site as well as getting a guided tour at each place. A lot was packed into a half day and we really enjoyed it.

Pretoria city is the administrative capital of South Africa and is known as the "Jacaranda City”, mainly for its jacaranda-lined avenues and fascinated architecture.

Whilst here you can visit historical monuments such as the Paul Kruger house which was built in 1884. Paul Kruger was the leading man in the Transvaal War against Britain between 1889-1891. Paul Kruger was then elected the President of the Zui-Afrikaansche Republiek and took up residence at Kruger House in Pretoria.

The Voortrekker Monument is situated in Pretoria in a nature reserve, it is a Monument that commemorates the history of South Africa and the history of the Afrikaners, not forgetting the Union Buildings (Closed on weekends and public holidays) which house the offices of the president and are located in Tshwane.
