| A Toast to Wildlife - De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre Tour |  |
| Enjoy an educational adventure with rare and endangered species like the cheetah and wild dogs at the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre. If you missed the elusive cheetahs on your wildlife safari, don't be disappointed. An hour away from Johannesburg and neighbouring Hartbeespoort Dam, De Wildt Centre offers a unique opportunity to get close to cheetahs, wild dogs, antelopes, the brown hyena, vultures and owls. Lying at the base of Magaliesberg Mountain and spread over 168 hectares, this wildlife refuge was established by Ann van Dyk to breed and research endangered species in the ‘race against extinction' programme. The first to breed the king cheetah, this wildlife centre is truly amazing for its efforts over the last 20 years! You'll also see wild dogs interacting in a pack, playing and eating. Don't forget to keep an eye out for riverine rabbits and blue duikers. A great place to learn some interesting facts about these fascinating creatures and their struggle for existence, a visit to De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre is a truly special experience. |

| Pilanesberg Game Reserve is South Africa's fourth largest game reserve, and is two hours from Johannesburg. This 500 square kilometres national park lies in the crater of a 1200 million year old extinct volcano. In this transitional zone between the Kalahari Desert and Lowveld (a tropical savanna), you'll see a variety of vegetation as you explore the surrounding mountains and the savanna of the park. The area around Mankwe Lake is particularly stunning with its towering rocky outcrops. The Reserve is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, hippo, rhiono and buffalo), as well as the white rhinos, giraffes, a variety of antelopes, zebras, hyenas and African wild dogs. Keep your binoculars handy and spot many of the region's birds. With an impressive variety of wildlife, birds and diverse vegetation, Pilanesberg Game Reserve is the ideal place to appreciate South Africa's game and vegetation diversity. [more info & booking] |

Johannesburg & Pretoria - the heart of South Africa

Gauteng, with its two major cities Johannesburg and Pretoria, is the powerhouse of the Republic of South African as well as of Southern Africa. Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport is by far the biggest one in the region, the GDP of Joburg makes about 20% of the national GDP.
Pretoria, Joburg's little sister, is smaller (in almost any case), but not less lively. Being the administrative capital of South Africa and hosting most embassies, consulates etc. Pretoria evolved its own charme. Pretoria is only about a 45min drive from the airport, which makes the Jacaranda City the ideal "point of entry" when you are coming to Southern Africa.
