Marvelous Union Buildings

#timetotravel When you have the chance to spend some time in Pretoria I definitely recommend you to check out the Union Buildings with their beautiful public gardens and surroundings. We went there around five in the afternoon and the lighting was perfect. Afterwards we walked around the area and watched many locals play football and rugby. The area is great and quite and very clean #familytravel #deliciousfood

Fountain Valley Resort, in Pretoria South Africa, such a beautiful place filled with statues of phenomenal struggle heroes and heroines. So much history to be enjoyed, and you get to understand what the country went through. It is a fun place to go to as a family, and you can take your friends there as well, it has a swimming pool, berbecue place, picnic spots where you can relax under the tree close to nature and take it all in. Be sure to visit this place, when visiting Pretoria, it os mind blowing.

Church Square Church Square, originally Market Square, is the square at the historic centre of the city of Pretoria, South Africa. The square's most prominent feature is the statue of the late Boer leader and president of the South African Republic . This place is lovely to see but didn’t feel particularly safe to walk around alone. There were a lot of loiterers making it feel unsafe however the architecture was amazing to see #wintergetaway

Lekker plek in South Africa

Living with Beautiful moments ❤️

#parksandgardens Love with the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa I always feel that zoos are for people who are in love to see wild animals. It is a compulsory course for people who come to Africa. After only two weeks in South Africa, I went to Port Elizabeth. Unfortunately, I didn't book Ado Elephant Park, but I also experienced a private manor adventure that was almost served as a lion for lunch. Thinking about coming to Japan, there were many opportunities to go in the future, so l didn't take it seriously. Because of all kinds of busy work, there was no If you can't see wild animals, then go to the zoo. It's also 100 rand for African animals. There is a paid parking lot at the door. It seems to be 30 rand, but it's still quite interesting compared with the old "fossils" in the museum. It's even more difficult to grasp when shooting active small animals. It takes a long time to catch a clear picture. Look at it and cherish it. #South Africa #South Africa Travel #Pretoria #Zoo #Flamingo# Lemur #Giraffe #Africa #African Elephant #African Leopard #African Lion

Explore Pretoria: Where History Meets Modernity

Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa. It is known for the rich history and many important monuments. Getting there - I hired a driver/ local guide for a day tour to Pretoria from Johannesburg, this is the best way to learn about local history and culture. Attractions - 1. Nelson Mandela Starue Highlights - This huge statue is a memorial and tribute to the legacy of South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela. It symbolizes resilience and the struggle for freedom and equality. 2. Union Buildings & Union Buildings Gardens Highlights - This is a stunning blend of lush landscapes and historical significance. The gardens offer breathtaking views of the city and the iconic Union Buildings. 3. Voortrekker Monument Highlights - This is a granite monument commemorating the Afrikaner pioneers' journey. There is a informative museum inside about the Voortrekker's journey and you can panoramic views of the city from the top level. #localtourguides #100waysoftravel #awesomepic #southafrica #pretoria #travellerswonderland

Dangerous Church Square

When you have the chance to go to Church Square I would recommend you to go but you have to be careful. Generally you should not go out at night and also not out alone at all. There are many old beautiful buildings and you can walk around the park. Pretoria is safe but you should not be stupid which means that you should not act like you have a lot of money and you should be careful #pretoria

gud look

We visited the Blyde lagoon at the Willows , Pretoria East for a month. They're building a hotel in front of the lagoon adjacent to a wonderful restaurant . The security and staff really make a people feel like that they don't belong there constantly telling where you can't go, can't sit , must wear shoes around the pool, etc but we made the best of the situation.

Niagara Falls

Great experience at Nature’s colossal creations.

Niagra Falls - the great fall you’ve ever seen

Niagra Falls is definitely the most popular and beautiful place to visit in North America, no matter you are in US or Canada. A stunning place that shows the beauty of nature, can’t be seen elsewhere. You can take the boat to go near the Falls but definitely do it in summer, or else you’ll regret it. I went there in April but then it’s too cold to stay on the deck to watch, remember to bring some jackets even if you visit in summer time.

Niagara falls, Canada

Voortrekker Monument The Voortrekker Monument is located just south of Pretoria in South Africa. This massive granite structure is prominently located on a hilltop, and was raised to commemorate the Voortrekkers who left the Cape Colony between 1835 and 1854. The building is more impressive up close. Some antelope and Zebra roam the area and the large open space feature some indigenous trees and plants. Beautiful view of the city #wintergetaway

Jacaranda Street very beautiful place, This avenue is one of the few, if not only, places in Pretoria where each pavement has a double row of Jacarandas.very beautiful when the bloom ♥️🎊 Mid September to October is the best time to see Jacarandas in bloom.In our area the trees are everywhere,there are even jacarandas with white flowers in one specific street.Visit this street next time when you are in Pretoria the capital of South Africa 🇿🇦 #wintergetaway

South Africa's largest museum, into the kaleidoscope of the world in the South African administrative capital of the Prefectural Museum of Pretoria, this museum on the hillside, is the largest museum in South Africa, commemorating the early The history of European Dutchmen entering South Africa is almost always visited by white tourists and Asian tourists. There are very few Africans. Standing under the huge building of 41 meters, the majestic feeling of rushing to the face, climbed over a hundred ladders into the pavilion, the towering hall has a 92-meter-long Italian marble, above All are superb reliefs. Take the elevator to the top floor, the exterior can overlook the entire city landscape of Pretoria, while the interior can overlook the entire hall, the ground is a complex pattern, on the cumbersome and complex huge building, It is a minimalist alternative space. At 12 noon on December 16th, there will be a beam of light shining from the round hole of the Scorpio to the bottom of the tombstone. We recommend using uber to go to for 40 RMB
