Voortrekker Monument

Rising from granite cliffs just south of Pretoria, the imposing Voortrekker Monument memorializes the Great Trek pioneers who migrated inland from Cape Colony in the 1800s.

Standing 40 meters tall and depicting key scenes from the journey through marble friezes, this significant Afrikaner cultural site conveys the travails, vision and bravery of these Voortrekker settlers.

Its grandiose architecture and dramatic hillside setting regale visitors with tales of critical South African historical events that shaped the nation.
