The Most Unique Experiences in Pretoria

Pretoria is called the Jacaranda City, named for the purple blossoms that fill the streets every October. While students spend hours under these trees, waiting for a flower to fall on their heads and ensure success in the exams, everyone can appreciate the beauty and the delicate scent that fills the air when it’s jacaranda season. Unfortunately the jacaranda tree is an alien species, so no new trees may be planted, but the old neighborhoods of Pretoria are luckily still carpeted in a blanket of purple once a year.
