The quintessential African city, Pretoria is a wonderful place to visit if you’re looking for the African experience with a touch of Westernization. This city is an educational hub, playing host to a number of world-class universities. And, since it’s the country’s administrative capital, it’s also home to numerous government buildings. A stroll through the town is one of the many things to do alone that will reveal to you Pretoria’s deep history, one that is tainted by the infamous apartheid. If you’re keen on learning the area’s history, visit Freedom Park and get a feel of the various conflicts that ravaged South Africa’s past. Those interested in nature can visit the Pretoria National Botanical Garden or Rietvei Nature Reserve. These and more will keep you spellbound.
