About Voortrekker Monument

The courageous journey of Pioneers, Pathfinders, and Leaders: an inspirational story of truth and peace seekers. This commemorative granite masterpiece was built in honor of the Voortrekkers' migration from the Cape Colony into the inland part of South Africa, illustrating their search of a peaceful, unthreatened stable land.

Raised on a hilltop, this massive architectural edifice located south of Pretoria, in South Africa, is considered the biggest example of a freeze in the world displayed on a monumental structure containing extremely realistic details of historical commemoration. Grandeur and intense History is what you will witness along with fond admiration for a group of soul searchers who led the way for the rest of their people.
