Pretoria: South Africa’s administrative capital.
Pretoria is South Africa’s administrative capital, in the City of Tshwane north of Johannesburg. The Union Buildings, the official seat of government and home of The Presidency, stand on its highest point. We plan Pretoria as a day out from Johannesburg or as a base of its own, and our Kruger safaris can collect from Pretoria.
Where to stay in Pretoria
Our Pretoria hotels are in the eastern suburbs: Menlyn, nearby Ashlea Gardens, and Waterkloof.

Getting there
The Gautrain runs between Pretoria and Johannesburg; reaching O.R. Tambo means changing to the airport line. We can also arrange a private road transfer from the airport or from Johannesburg.
