A view of Pretoria

Pretoria is renowned as the Jacaranda City for its beautiful jacaranda trees that line the streets and that come into bloom into October each year, signalling to all the students that they need to apply themselves to their studies for the end of year exams. The conference will be held during the time when the jacarandas are at their most beautiful and when the climate and season is at its best for tourism. Conference delegates are therefore encouraged to make use of the opportunity of being in South Africa at this time of year to add some tourism ventures into their stay.
