Pretoria

Jacaranda tree are in full bloom in Pretoria South Africa during spring from about September to late November turning the city into a purple paradise.

Nicknamed the Jacaranda City, Pretoria's suburban streets are lined with thousands of jacaranda trees. In fact it is thought that 17% of all the trees in Pretoria are jacarandas.

Pretoria, with its famous jacarandas, is in close proximity to a plethora of natural attractions including nature reserves, parks and is not too far from a meteorite landing site.
