M.M.R. Maruf:“"Visited the iconic Union Buildings in Tshwane, and I was absolutely captivated by its grandeur and history. As the seat of South Africa’s government, the architecture is a breathtaking blend of classical and Cape Dutch styles. The panoramic views from the hilltop are unmatched, and the beautifully landscaped gardens add to the peaceful atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in Pretoria, it's a powerful reminder of South Africa’s journey towards democracy and unity.”

老少皆宜(程世荣):“We visited wildlife parks near Johannesburg, the most famous of which was the Lion Park. There are many wildlife parks in South Africa, and the types of wild animals are also very complete. However, there are some problems with the security in Johannesburg, so we need to be vigilant.”

Museums
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:30
游侠半仙:“When traveling in South Africa with a group, the first stop was the Museum of the First Peoples. We had to buy tickets and each person was given a wristband to indicate that the ticket had been purchased. We first visited the ground building and listened to the tour guide's explanation. Then we took a small elevator that could only accommodate three people to go upstairs. We could visit the platform, look out into the distance, and move freely. We walked up the stairs to the top floor and saw the top of the tower.”

Open year round, 24/7
juki235:“The Time Bridge in Sun City is located in the center of Sun City Amusement Park. This bridge is also called the Earthquake Bridge. When you pass through this bridge, it will make a loud rumbling sound, giving people a feeling of shaking the earth. In fact, this design is also to commemorate the indomitable spirit of Sun City, which was destroyed in the earthquake but miraculously rebuilt. It is also a place that every tourist who comes to Sun City must experience.”

Sadman Aayan:“Lesedi Cultural Village is a truly captivating experience! Nestled in the heart of South Africa, it offers an authentic glimpse into the rich heritage of the country's diverse tribes. From the vibrant traditional dances to the warm hospitality of the locals, every moment felt genuine and enlightening. The guided tours were informative and engaging, allowing me to immerse myself in the customs, music, and cuisine of different cultures. The atmosphere is both festive and educational.”

juki235:“The Wave Valley in Sun City is actually an artificial beach. Huge waves are created here every once in a while, which brings great fun to the tourists playing here. There is also a sandy beach here, which is of course an artificial beach, but the scenery created is very good, giving people the illusion of being on the beach.”
