Tour Overview
The North-West province allows a traveller to explore a variety of rich cultural heritage and history, combined with wonderful nature and wildlife scenery not very far from Johannesburg and the O.R. Tambo airport. This tour includes a portion of Gauteng, where we visit The Cradle of Human Kind to muse about our origins. Visit the Voortrekker Monument or the Union Buildings in Pretoria. “At a time, several millions of years ago, the inland plain and drainage wetland underwent massive geological upheaval and the area slit into two sections, and the ground tilted to the north, forming a line of two parallel mountain ranges which stretch for some 120 kilometers, from Pretoria, through Rustenburg to the Pilanesberg. This was the birth of the Magaliesberg Mountain range, which forms a natural barrier between the lower lying Bushveld to the north, and the cooler Highveld to the South and is the “meeting point” of many a species.”
