Full description

Visiting Pretoria 4 hours
Pretoria is named after the Voortrekker leader Andries Pretorius, and South Africans sometimes call it the "Jacaranda City, because of the thousands of jacaranda trees planted along its streets and in its parks and gardens.
Starting by the
1.Voortrekkers Monument: is located just south of Pretoria in South Africa. The granite structure is located on a hilltop, and was raised to commemorate the Voortrekkers who left the Cape Colony between 1835 and 1854. It was designed by the architect Gerard Moerdijk.

2.Kruger house: is the historical Pretoria residence of the Boer leader and President of the South African Republic, Paul Kruger. It was built in 1884 by architect Tom Claridge and builder Charles Clark. Milk was used, instead of water, for mixing the cement from which the house was constructed, as the cement available was of poor quality.The house was also one of the first in Pretoria to be lit by electricity. The house contains either the original furnishings or items from the same historical period, some of the many gifts that were presented to Kruger as well as other memorabilia.

3.Church Square: originally Market Square is the square at the historic centre of the city of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa. The founder of Pretoria, Marthinus Pretorius, determined that the square be used as a market place and church yard. It was subsequently named for the church buildings that stood at the centre of the square from 1856 to 1905. The square's most prominent feature, since June 1954, is the statue of the late Boer leader and president of the South African Republic, Paul Kruger, at its centre.Statues of four anonymous Boer citizen-soldiers surround that of Kruger on a lower level of the plinth.
4. Passing the city center or CBD
5.Union building: 7the official seat of the South African Government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. The imposing buildings are located in Pretoria, atop Meintjeskop at the northern end of Arcadia, close to historic Church Square. the Union Buildings occupy the highest point of Pretoria, and constitute a South African national heritage site.

Timothy – GermanyMarch 23, 2024 – Verified booking
This tour was an utter shambles. The car was very old, in poor condition and running on an emergency spare tyre. We had to stop on the motorway when an unidentified part fell off it. The driver took at least two wrong turnings, turning a 35 minute drive into more than an hour. We arrived at two of the three attractions after they had closed. Clearly the tour company had failed to do any research. An absolute waste of time and money.
