- The administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria, or the 'Jacaranda City' is best known for its annual display of purple flowers in October. Located in the northern part of Gauteng, Pretoria is the historic centre of government in the former ZAR. Pretoria is also known as Tshwane, named after the Tswana/Ndebele Chief Tshwane.
Whenever we travel, it's always about the people we meet and here, in Pretoria, it was just that. We connected with a homeschooling family and the kids had such a blast!
During our visit we stayed at the Ngata Lodge in the Dinokeng Game Reserve which is located inside the city limits.
We visited the city center where we learned about Paul Kruger also toured the original Johannesburg gold mines and world famous Sterkfontein Caves.

The Union Buildings house the offices of the President of South Africa. Parliament is strictly in Cape Town.
Did you not go to Maropeng - The Cradle of Humankind? - so close to Sterkfontein Caves!
Pretoria is my home town! Great video. Left 40 years ago, still would like to visit. Now in the USA, would like to take my family on a trip like yours.
Oh cool! Definitely take them there. It so much fun to learn about your parents hometown and roots.
victor van dyke call me
Kan jy praat Afrikaans?
I was born in pretoria :)
Do you go back home often?
It's hard to be far away from family. It's a shame you had to move due to high crime. Safety is something we take for granted in other countries.
Great video . Greetings from London 🇬🇧
"Raadsaal" at 11:20 translates to "Council Hall" which was the parliament building of Paul Kruger's ZAR (South African Republic) completed in 1890.

The Raadsaal was built by the Boers. It was the capitol building for the South African Republic. Paul Kruger was the president of the republic. The South African Republic became part of the Union of South Africa at the end of the Anglo/Boer War in 1902. The building is very beautiful.
Great! Thanks for sharing. 👍

That’s amazing! Thanks for letting us know.
Watching from the land down under but I was born in Cambodia.
Fantastic! Thanks for the comment!
Did not visit the Voortrekker Monument?? Whow, missed out on the coolest monument in South Africa!!
Perfect! Now we have an excuse to come back! We loved SA!!
Nice video, i saw you were eating sausages at the cafe but all this while i thought you are vegetarians
We're "wannabe" vegetarians. :) We go back and forth but our goal is to become vegetarians in the long run. I need to work on this since I do most of the cooking. It's all in the planning.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Stay with meat, Its healthy and your body requires the vitamines and proteïnes you get from meet. If you go vegetarian, you will have to supplement your diet with pills because there is no other way to get these vitamines and proteïnes you get from meat! Meat cooked correctly or barbecued is very tasty in any way. So, stick with meat!!
@@pauldbeer - I've been vegetarian for fifty years and don't take any supplements. You can get all the nutrition you need from a plant-based diet.
where we all began
Yes!
I'm moving to Pretoria
+Alys Skinner 👍👍
Welcome to the most boring city on Earth.
We are sure how the continents separated. Plate tectonics.
Hi how what we call this music which is at background "hmmmm hmmmmm "
Lion king song but translated in swahili I guess because I know it in Xhosa/Zulu. Ingwenyama yingwe' namabala - meaning Leopard is a colourful Lion
@@nomhle7201 thank you 🙂
@@harishsehrawat2226 welcome my dear. Where are you watching from?
@@nomhle7201 new delhi, india 🙂
@@harishsehrawat2226 wooow, nice. I'm watching from the UK
The union building is not parliament, parliament is in Cape town. The Union building is equivalent to what you will call the white house in the US.
Ah thanks for letting us know.
LOL Just imagine a South African family visiting a place in Canada where there is a statue of Sir John A MacDonald. Mother to children: "Girls, what have we learned about John A MacDonald? Girls' response: "He was an alcoholic and he married his cousin." For those not familiar with Canadian history, Sir John A MacDonald was probably the dominant figure in the forming of the Canadian Confederation.
That's funny. I actually didn't know that about him. 😳😂😂 We did visit his "old historic" house though as part of a school trip. Funny when our history is so new compared to the rest of the world.
Maybe the earth got bigger?!?!
🤷♀️I’d have to rewatch the video to understand 😂😂
You cant buy guns there. Its an airsoft and paintball shop XD
Why is the husband not in the video? A man of his age shouldn’t be shy of cameras.
He just prefers to stay behind camera.
"This is why they have issues here, everyone can buy a gun".
Lady, do you even know South Africa's real problems?
No, I'm sure we don't fully know everything.
Shocking comment
I dont think. The same if visit another country. I wont know their real problems.
No way you can know Africa's real problems in such a short time or anyplace for that matter. However, I do think you are giving us the sanitized version.
