The beautiful city of Pretoria is the capital of South Africa and one of its finest cities. Steeped in a deep rooted history and blessed with diverse multiculturalism, Pretoria is peaceful and conservative, renowned for the magnificent Union Buildings, which are home to the nation’s parliament, and its wonderfully proud hospitality. Pretoria is a mere 45 minutes away from Johannesburg which is the commercial and economic hub of South Africa, and is approximately 6 hours away from the city of Durban, which is another sought-after destination.
Pretoria is a nice change of pace from Johannesburg, but its very central location means it has easy access to a wide variety of attractions both in the province of Gauteng and in the other regions of South Africa. Moreleta Park is one of Pretoria’s finest suburbs with its large homes and well-kept landscaped gardens, and security town house complexes. Moreleta Park counts Irene as one of its neighbours and Irene invokes pictures of a beautiful English countryside town that is ideal for those weekend getaways.
Moreleta Park while being upmarket is also renowned for its ease of living and has direct access to the Menlyn and Woodlands shopping malls, as well as three pristine golf courses in Silver Lakes, Wingate Park, and Woodhill Golf Estate. Nature fans can spend the day at Wonderboom Nature Reserve, which highlights South Africa’s abundant wildlife and picturesque aesthetic appeal, while the Rietvlei Nature Reserve is set out on a sprawling 3800 hectares and is home to ostrich, the white rhino, waterbuck, wildebeest and other elusive mammals like the porcupine family.
