Northern Gauteng is a mix of pretty, spacious towns including the administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria, with its beautiful Jacaranda-lined streets that burst into bloom in October. Smaller rural communities can be found around Pretoria including the quaint town of Cullinan.
Charming and friendly, the area has a rich history for both Afrikaner and African cultures which is shown by the fact that 9 of the official 11 South African languages are spoken widely in this area. The area's history can be explored in the numerous museums around the city including the Transvaal Museum, the National Cultural History Museum, and the Smuts Museum.
The small town friendliness of the region is combined with easy access to the buzzing city of Johannesburg. Northern Gauteng is filled with many places of interest and activities ranging from outdoor adventuring to a vibrant nightlife. Northern Pretoria is a fusion of natural beauty, history, and growing cosmopolitan cities.
