3 Days of Sightseeing with all accommodation and catering

Sightseeing is done from our base at Ndlovu Lodge. Ndlovu Lodge is situated about 20 minutes outside Pretoria. Upon completion of the hunting safari we have three days of sightseeing. Below are three typical days of sightseeing, it can however be changed to something which would better suit your specific requirements.
Day 1: Pretoria and Cullinan Diamond Mine
The Jacaranda City , so named for the thousands of Jacaranda trees which line its streets and transform the city to a purple wonderland which is the focus this excursion. A tour of the cities highlights is on the agenda as the tour visits the Union Buildings with its commanding view of the City from its setting against the slope of Meintjieskop. The building currently houses the office of the South African president. Designed by the famous British Architect Sir Herbert Baker , it is regarded as one of the Countries architectural masterpieces. Visits are also made to the Voortrekker Monument which bears testament to a people's pioneering spirit before visiting the period museum which is Melrose House. Melrose house was the location where the Anglo Boer war officially ended with the signing of the peace of Vereeniging in 1902.
The afternoon leads the Group to the east of Pretoria and the village of Cullinan where the world's largest Diamond was discovered in 1905.This great diamond weighed in at an amazing 3106 carats in the rough and was transformed by the Asscher Brothers in Amsterdam to the magnificent stones which grace the British Crown Jewels. A tour of the mine sheds some light on the process by which these most noble of the earths stones where formed under great pressure and heat millions of years ago, and on the way in which man extracts them from the earth and shapes them into the desirable objects they become in the jewelery stores of eh world.
Day 2: Sterkfontein Caves and Lion and Rhino Park
The Sterkfontein caves situated close to the town Krugersdorp is explored on a morning visit. It is regarded as one of the worlds most important anthropological sights and has been elevated to a world heritage sight. Dr Robert Broom of the University of the Witwatersrand conducted extensive excavations in these caves between 1636 and 1951.Amongst his numerous discoveries of Pre-historical animal fossils the discovery of an exceptionally well preserved skull of Australopithecus Africanus ( the southern ape of Africa) is notable. A species of early man believed to have lived about 2 million years ago. The skull ( that of a female) was named "Mrs. Ples" and was widely held as the missing link between ape and man. The cave consist of six large chambers and at a depth of 40m lies an underground lake which is revered to poses healing power.
The afternoon brings the group to the Rhino and Lion Park where a game drive is conducted following lunch. The reserve covers approximately 1600 Ha of typical Highveld vegetation and is home to a large concentration of antelope. Considerable success in the breading of the White Rhino has been achieved here and to date no less than 11 calves have been born at the reserve. Lion , cheetah as well as the rare African Wild Dog are some of the other species which can be seen and which should provide exceptional photographic opportunity.
Day 3: Pilansberg and Sun City
The tour travels west, passing the scenic Hartebeespoort Dam en route to the Pilansberg National Park, which is situated adjacent to the famous Sun City resort complex. The eroded crater of a long extinct volcano is the setting of the 55 000 Ha Pilansberg National Park, where a game drive is conducted by your experienced guide. The Park is home to an abundance of wildlife, not least being Africa's legendary Big Five.
Lunch is followed by a short drive to Sun City where the afternoon is devoted to exploring this magnificent resort with its unique architectural style, man made lakes and tropical gardens. A highlight is sure to be the inspiring sight of the Palace Hotel as it stands guard over the valley which houses the famous Gary Player Country Club, to which the worlds greatest golfers flock once a year to compete in the Two Million Dollar Golf Challenge. The crocodile sanctuary which is home to a multitude of these ancient creatures is visited before returning to the overnight destination.
