Just 30 minutes out of the big city

by cleocat - last update: Apr 24, 2005

Boats on the dam
30 minutes drive from Pretoria and you are in another world.

Hartbeespoort Dam is very seldom on the "must see" list of tourists.

Most people go to Sun City. On the way to Sun city it is worthwhile stopping at the Dam for a few hours.

The air is fresh and clean. There are lots to see and do. Excellent for shopping. A lot of SA artists have galleries here.

The mansions in Cosmos and Ifafi
are something the other 90% of us can only dream about.

 What a great page. Unfortunately we drove right past the dam on our way to Pilanesberg. If those are your boys, they are a good looking pair for sure.
