But even without this, there are many interesting things in it! On the day of our excursion we are transported for several centuries to the past, in the era of the colonization of South Africa. And we will begin our journey through time with a visit to the magnificent building in honor of the Boer settlers – Furtrekker Monument. Here you will learn about the history of the Great Trek, about peaceful life and battles, about devotion to your faith and work. Then we go to the house-museum of Paul Kruger (he is Paulus Kriher, he is Uncle Paul!) – one of the former presidents of the Transvaal Republic. After that, we will have the Church Square, where we will take a pedestrian walk. You will see the buildings built at the very beginning of the founding of the city, learn their history, and also visit the very first cafe-restaurant in the city of Pretoria, which to this day has retained its appearance and design. And in the end – the Union Building, located on one of the hills of the city, offering a beautiful view of the city.

After – the trekking of the park Lviv, where you can cuddle the little cubs and touch the graceful cheetah.

Further, a trip to the ethnic village of Lesedi is a fascinating journey into the world, culture and traditions of various indigenous peoples in South Africa, such as Zulu, Ndebele, Basutu, Khoza and Pedy.
