Imagine the silence of the bush as you walk up the bushed walls of a beautifully preserved meteor impact crater about 225000 years old. Gaze across a spring-fed lake to the other wall about 1km away and imagine the energy needed to blast this hole in the earth. Observe the folding of the rock on the way out up the old salt mining road. Pretoria, the administrative capital, is a bustling modern city, liberally sprinkled with historical buildings such as Paul Kruger's house, the Raadsaal, Melrose House, City Hall, the Transvaal Museum and the Union Buildings, a magnificent example of the work of Sir Herbert Baker. These buildings are now the Presidency. The history of the city area predates European settlement and makes for interesting discussion. We wend our way through some of the suburbs, from high density flatlands to spread-out homes, older buildings to the most modern, until it's time to depart.
Please note, the hike into Tswaing Crater will require good walking shoes and a hat. - We travel directly to Tswaing Crater from Pretoria - The walk is approx. 7. 5 km, and will take 2-3 hours depending on speed walked and length of stops. - From the crater we drive to the Voortrekker Monument. - We travel down Church Street to Paul Kruger's house - On to Church Square where we walk around enjoying the architecture in this unique square. - Union Buildings. Here, we can walk in the gardens and view the memorials. - City Hall and the Natural History museum are next. - Burgers Park and Melrose House complete the journey. The itinerary is flexible, and can be changed to accommodate any special interest - I aim for the personal touch. Museum time will depend on time available.
