Pretoria: Although Pretoria, nicknamed the Jacaranda City for its flowers, has beautiful parks and gardens, it is often overlooked for its neighbor Johannesburg. The capital has museums to keep you busy, for art, history and geology, and is best served after a day of enjoyment as a jumping point to other parts of the country. Kruger National Park, about 170 miles to the east of the capital, is one of the world's finest nature reserves with all many of picturebook animals.
