The Monument

The Voortrekker Monument commemorates the epic exodus of disillusioned Boers from the Cape into the interior. This massive monument is ringed with granite ox-wagons and inside contains a frieze of Boer heroics. The large grounds have been declared a National Nature Reserve, which abounds with small game.

The monolithic Voortrekker Monument is one of the first landmarks visitors see as they drive into Pretoria from the south.
