Spread over nearly 80 hectares, these gardens in the east of the city is a perfect sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Extensive trails make it great for walking and birdwatchers will have a good time sighting the many different species. The Mokha restuarant overlooks the wetlands and serves great food, especially the buffet on Sundays, in beautiful surrounds. A section is dedicated to African medicinal plants and provides a interesting insight into South African culture.

It is wonderful to have such a beautiful zoo so close to the city centre. The facilities for the animals is great and you don't get that depressed feeling you often get when visiting zoos. A cable car ride takes you up to the hill which provides the setting for the lion and tiger enclosures and also gives you great views over Pretoria. A few historic monuments are also scattered throughout the gardens. Outside is a small African craft market. A great way to spend a day with kids.
