Tshwane/Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa and a truly multi–cultural city. The Union Buildings house the administration of the country and have also been the setting for the presidential inaugurations of Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki. These sandstone buildings offer beautiful views over the city.

Tshwane/Pretoria, with a population of just under a million, is an elegant, quiet city that’s a perfect contrast with its more frenetic neighbour, Johannesburg, just half an hour away. Pretoria has a long, involved and fascinating history – first as the capital of the independent Boer republic of the Transvaal, then as one of the three capitals of South Africa, it became an international synonym for apartheid. But that all changed in 1994 – with Nelson Mandela’s inauguration, the Union Buildings morphed overnight from a symbol of white, neo–colonial domination to one of true unity.

Tshwane/Pretoria’s rich and colourful heritage is reflected in the many museums, monuments and contemporary arts and craft markets, making the city alive with a unique blend of old and new.

Church Square and the State Theatre often host international and national performances. There are also two nature reserves where visitors can view wildlife such as buffalo, antelope, cheetah, jackal, giraffe and sable. Tshwane/Pretoria has a thriving nightlife and entertainment scene, and a wide variety of great restaurants. Try a tandem skydive or a first jump at the Pretoria Skydiving Club, which is the largest in the country or visit the nearby town of Cullinan, the site of the discovery of the biggest diamond in the world.
