Overview of your Pretoria tour:

This is a city of contrasts - modern, brash, a melting pot of different cultures and people, and yet very young. From the earliest Iron Age peoples to the financial powerhouse of Africa - this city has seen it all. Why is this city here? No water, on rocky slopes - an unlikely setting. Growing from farmland to a city of over 120, 000 in 4 short years, weathering wars, foiling a coup, violent strike action resulting in armed insurrection to the final struggles against apartheid - it all happened here. Trace the softer sides of the city, such as the farmer who left a legacy that lasts to this day, the site of the gold strike that started it all, and see wonderful images of the old Johannesburg at the Ferreiras Mine Museum. Admire the headgear and stamp mill in Hollard Street, and find out a bit about the characters that shaped this city with their eccentricity. We tour Soweto - site of the student uprising that caught the world's attention and can visit a variety of museums, depending on interest.
