South Africa's Administrative Capital

📍 Location: Pretoria 🗺️ Route: 1️⃣ Voortrekker Monument 2️⃣ Union Buildings 3️⃣ City Hall 4️⃣ Church Square 5️⃣ Traditional "Big Five" Feast 💭 Impressions: 1️⃣ Safety Concerns: Chose a guided tour for safety & transport—highly recommended! 🚌✔️ From arrival, some locals asked for tips (photos/customs) 🛃💸 Post-apartheid cities still developing—visible tin-shack townships 🏚️ White residents rarely visit downtown; economic growth is key 💡 2️⃣ Weather Check: June-July = Winter (feels like autumn in China) 🍂 Huge temperature swings—cold mornings, hot midday ☀️❄️ Golden highways stretch endlessly under drought conditions 🛣️💛 Privatized land left barren due to water scarcity 💧🏜️ 3️⃣ Cultural Vibes: Africans are friendly (though I mostly visited service areas) 😊 Couldn’t fully immerse, but the vast landscapes felt like China’s Northwest 🏔️🌄 #Africa #AfricanTravel #SouthAfrica #Pretoria #TravelDiaries
