An almost total historic environment has been recreated. Visitors to Kruger House should feel as though the President or Mrs Kruger might return at any moment. The furnishing plan has been based on a thorough study of the available evidence of original furnishings. In accordance with this several changes have recently been made to the interior, not as a curatorial whim, but with a view to give the visitor a more accurate conception of the life style of the Kruger’s.
The majestic Voortrekker Monument is situated in the northern part of South Africa in the Pretoria (Tshwane) region in a nature reserve. It is a unique Monument which commemorates the Pioneer history of Southern Africa and the history of the Afrikaner and is situated in a beautiful setting. Today it is the most visited heritage site of its kind in Gauteng and one of the top ten cultural historical visitor attractions in the country.

Often being called “The Volcano that gave birth to a game reserve”, this park is situated on the remains of a volcanic crater, said to be one of the only three alkaline volcanoes in the world. It is estimated that the eruptions took place some 1,300 million years ago, leaving behind a unique geological structure.
Evidence of some rare rock types, such as foyaites and syenites make up many of the rocky structures, these hard rocks are found many kilometers under the earth crust and were brought to the surface and deposited by the volcano. At the time of the volcanic activity, the height of the volcanic mountains were estimated to be about 7,000 meters above the earth's surface, today they have weathered to no more than 700 meters.
The Pilanesberg Park was conceived in 1969. It took ten years of research before it finally opened on 8 December 1979.
Firstly, this 55,000 hectare had to be prepared, by removing all evidence of mechanized farming and mining. Houses, fences, windmills, pumps and mining equipment were dismantled and trucked away. Tons of alien vegetation were removed and indigenous vegetation was seeded in its place. The eroded land had to be reclaimed and the area had to be fenced.
