Overview

Experience the best of Pretoria in a single, unforgettable day with our Pretoria Full Day Tour.
Spend a day in “Jacaranda City” (so called because of the numerous Jacaranda trees which transform the city streets into blankets of magnificent purple every October).

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.
