Pretoria is a microcosm of culture and a veritable window on Africa, and could aptly be described as a country in one city. Built on a colourful yet controversial past and evolving into a dynamic future, the jacaranda city (so nicknamed after its famous blossoming jacaranda trees) offers a treasure-trove of breath-taking adventures, new and exciting experiences and unforgettable memories.

Pretoria boasts a strategic location, within easy reach of Johannesburg International Airport, and is a gateway to many favourite tourist destinations, from the Kruger National Park and other popular game lodges to the beaches of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The city is renowned, both locally and internationally, for having some of the top award-winning restaurants in South Africa. The choice ranges from a la carte, buffet, international, traditional South African and African cuisine to family restaurants, steakhouses, diners and fast-food outlets. Although Pretoria is a bustling city, it is in tune with nature, with beautiful gardens and jacaranda-lined streets. It is home to variety of nature reserves, including the National Botanical Gardens and the National Zoological Gardens, which houses a host of indigenous and exotic bird and animal species in spacious surrounds. Pretoria offers the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of colourful heroes, follow the track of game, dance and gamble the night away or sip cocktails amidst breathtaking scenery. Whatever the fancy of the visitor, Pretoria has it all.
