Another must-see on this trip to Gauteng is the Apartheid Museum, which today allows South Africa to look to the future while remembering its tumultuous past. The Voortrekker monument is located in Pretoria and originates from the Great Trek: a dangerous journey that recalls this event and the lives lost during this journey. A little further on, there are the Union buildings to discover in Pretoria. Its structure is magnificent, and the two wings represent English and Africans, while the courtyard that separates them highlights the Union of South Africa. Tourists will also see the Nelson Mandela amphitheater and the statue in the effigy of the character. After the history part, travelers can visit Sun City northwest of Johannesburg to change their minds a little. This place presents itself as a resort and entertainment complex. They can enjoy the spa, golf courses, and others. Moreover, Constitution Hill is a must-visit during a trip to Gauteng. These buildings served as a prison complex for activists such as Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill. Since 2004, the Constitutional Court of South Africa has moved there, but a visit to Mandela's cell and an exhibition are available. A little further, it is among the rocky hills and bushes that tourists will see the Aha Lesedi cultural village. They can meet the Xhosa, Pedi, Ndebele and Basotho in this place by discovering their cultural richness. For nature lovers, there is a visit to the nature reserve of rhinos and lions waiting for them. Indeed, nearly six hundred animals have found refuge there. ◄
