Drostdy Overnight Rooms and Caravan Park

You won’t have to go far to get a feel for South African city life or history. The city of Potchefstroom is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Drostdy Overnight Rooms and Caravan Park, and there’s plenty here to keep you busy: explore the Goetz Fleischack, President Pretorius, Totius House and Potchefstroom Museums, stroll around the North West University Botanical Gardens, or visit the historic monuments at the old gunpowder house, the Berlin Missionary Complex or the old British fort and Anglo-Boer War graves. Not enough city for you? The shops, restaurants, galleries and museums of Johannesburg are an hour and a half away. If you’re short on time, the Apartheid Museum is a must-visit and township tours give an important glimpse into the country’s history. Alternatively, blow off some steam and get your adrenaline pumping on the rides at Gold Reef City. Want to get close to nature instead? Explore Buffelsvlei Wild Animal Park and Boskop Dam Nature Reserve, both around half an hour from the site, or visit the largest and second oldest impact crater in the world at Vredefort. If you’re lucky enough to have time for a bit of an excursion, head to Lion and Safari Park or Pilanesberg Game Reserve, both around two hours from Drostdy, to spend time among the animals.
