For your visit to Gauteng, known as South Africa’s economic capital, you’ll be staying in the historical village of Irene. Here, your accommodation will be the enchanting African Pride Irene Country Lodge. As you approach the lodge, you’ll travel down a long and winding lane, lined with huge oak trees. The scenery is so pretty and peaceful that you’ll feel like you’ve left the city behind. With lakeside views so tranquil and serene, it’s hard to believe that the hustle and bustle of the city is only minutes away. If you choose not to venture into the city, there’s plenty to do within the village of Irene. It’s a village rich with South African History and is known for its art and culture roots, which you can learn more about at the local markets where there is plenty of art and culture on display. Just over the road from Irene Country Lodge lies Irene Farm. Why not visit the farm during your stay? You can meet the animals and visit the shop to pick up an array of delicacies fresh from the farm.
