I
enjoyed
the
few
hours
that
I
spent
at
the
(the
largest
Monument
in
Africa)
and
was
impressed
by
the
good
condition
it
was
in,
besides
the
gardens
that
need
a
bit
of
TLC.
Because
of
COVID-19,
there
were
hardly
any
people
there
and
entrance
was
half
price,
plus
a
discount
for
Pensioners.
Give
yourself
enough
time
to
explore
the
Monument
itself
and
read
the
history
-
it’s
interesting,
but
takes
time.
When
you
enter,
look
at
the
large
Marble
Frieze
on
display,
then
climb
to
the
top
and
look
at
the
Cenotaph
and
also
the
hole
for
the
sun.
Every
16
Dec,
the
sun
shines
directly
on
the
Cenotaph-
amazing
design.
Then
go
to
the
basement
and
look
at
the
tapestry
and
history
of
the
flags
and
different
republics
of
the
day.
Then
go
one
level
down,
to
the
museum.
It’s
easy
to
miss
the
entrance,
so
look
for
it.
I
found
it
interesting
and
there
is
lots
to
read.
When
you
are
done,
take
a
walk
outside
and
see
the
wagon
“laager”.
You
can
walk
inside
and
around
the
outside.
In
the
surrounding
area,you
can
see
the
Military
Wall
of
Remembrance,
Memorial
Wall
and
a
number
of
other
military
related
memorials.
Don’t
miss
out
on
the
Conference
room
below
the
Quo
Vadis
emblem.
Also
take
a
look
at
the
large
Amphitheater
on
the
grounds,
nothing
spectacular,
but
it
is
huge.
Fort
Schanskop
is
also
nearby
(in
the
reserve)
and
worth
a
visit.
All
the
staff
were
super
friendly
and
helpful.
Make
sure
you
give
yourself
plenty
of
time
to
do
it
justice
-
a
few
hours,
at
least.
There
is
plenty
of
parking
available
and
even
a
few
Black
Wildebeest
and
antelope
in
the
reserve
