Spend a full day in “Jacaranda City” (so called because of the many Jacaranda trees which transform the city streets into blankets of magnificent purple every October). Serving as the seat of the administrative branch of the South African government, Pretoria is one of the country’s three Capital cities. Founded in 1855, it was named after the Voortrekker leader, Andries Pretorias. A regal, quiet city, its interesting history is hidden between magnificent towers, classical architecture, and amphitheatres.
