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.
