We really was amazed! The monument has a fantastic atmosphere and there is lots to see and learn! The kids just loved all the steps and the fantastic view. It was clean and all the people there were very friendly. We'll certainly go again!

The way the management of this institution has adapted to change without sacrificing the facts of history nor their principles and core values. Gives a vivid insight into the history and spirit of the Afrikaner people of South Africa.

I took my son for a tour of the Monument to give him an insight into the History of the Afrikaans side of his family.
Overall a very informative an educational visit - the laager, paintings, tapestry and museum statues clearly depicted the trials, tribulations and resourcefulness of the Voortrekkers in their quest for freedom and independence. ...

Maybe in a million years.

On Easter Monday we visited this monument. Loads of tourists and guess what? The restaurant was closed! The steps were filthy and the overall impression was of indifferent management.

A cultural heritage - A display of the Afrikaner's roots
An imposing monument standing at the Southern entrance of Pretoria. The atmosphere is chilly at times, but the monument itself is an amazing architechtural work and gives you a splendid view of the surrounds. For an insight into the roots of the Afrikaner nation, visit this monument. Not something I would generally recommend, but if you have the time, do take a look.

Each scene inside tells a story of not long ago. The ride to top allows for an overview of the city of today.

Go see it

Enjoyed the visit and found the monument very informative. It brings alive a bygone era and shows you how the voortrekkers managed to get so far over the inhospitable terrain.
