September, the beautiful month of spring, has almost passed. Warm winds blow summer air into every day. Spring summer has arrived.
Towards the end of September, December breakaways start to swirl in your mind. Where should I go, what should we do, and for how long? This 2020 COVID year is upside down. Nothing is normal. The only thing that I am sure of is that we all want to breathe a positive end into this year. Travel remains restricted, the border is closed, and International travelling will need a visa or special permission. Hopping on a flight is possible but feels uncomfortable in this current pandemic. My gut feeling would be to book a getaway within South Africa and plan a long road trip or a few short ones. No matter your situation, there are places to drive to for the day or a few nights away. Gauteng offers many short trips with a short drive to escape the city heat and December shoppers.
Jumping in the car to head out of town always has a sense of magic to it. There is a freedom that comes with the open road. The highways around Pretoria and Joburg offer many destinations to drive towards a day trip away. The cradle of humankind is a short drive from Pretoria and Joburg that offers many culinary and outdoor activities. A day trip is a great way to escape the home blues and experience the summer air. The Culinary table next to Lanseria has a beautiful organic herb garden to stroll through and a big balcony with spacious spacing to enjoy a lazy lunch overlooking the greens. In the area are day trips to book at a Lion sanctuary, trout farms, and various farm stalls to stop at on your way.
Summer is perfect for short road trips and quick stops on the way. A day trip to Cullinan is a short drive out of Pretoria and Joburg. A day trip through the Cradle of Humankind meanders you close to the Hartebessporrtdam, offering activities of all sorts. A breakfast run is a quick option to feel the morning summer heat enjoying breakfast in the hills. Head out for a long drive and book lunch on your way in the countryside on the outskirts of Gauteng. If Christmas shopping is on your to-do list, drive towards the markets in Hartebeespoortdam. The craft and African markets will keep you entertained for a full day shopping and browsing.
Hartebeespoortdam has been a fond getaway for Gauteng residents. The drive is long enough to drive into nature and short enough to reach the first stop for a coffee. Activities are ample, and so are the eateries. Harties is ideal for kids with cable car trips, old film towns selling ice cream, monkeys, elephants, and pony rides all possible in the area. The restaurants all offer kiddies menus. Activities are busy, make sure to book in advance. Restaurants will be buzzing, book in advance for your favourite seat by the window. As the summer afternoon settles in and the lazy lunch feeling grips you, take a scenic drive over the historic dam wall with fresh air blowing through the windows. The roads around Harties are scenic and full of coffee stops.
If a night away is on your mind, browse all the activities and packages on offer at Mr. C Harties. There are overnight packages to settle into the luxury on offer or activities and spa options to embrace the adventure and pampering available. Once you step onto the deck, the chances are that you will feel at home and ready to relax on a sun lounger in the summer shadows.
