The Wall of Names at The Freedom Park

Take a tour of The Freedom Park (Tours take between one and a half to two hours, depending on the number of visitors). The Freedom Park stands as a monument to democracy, which was founded on the values of human dignity, rights and freedom. It serves as a symbol of the tortuous journey to and the sacrifices made for freedom.

The Park is located on a 52-hectare site on Salvokop in Pretoria - a vantage point that offers visitors a spectacular panorama of the capital city and beyond. Visitors are guaranteed to stand in awe at the sharply contrasting view, offering the opposites of our world; the hustle and industry of the city centre to the north and the tranquility and lush vegetation to the south.

The Freedom Park opened its doors in December 2007. Since then, the Park has become the place where South African citizens and international tourists alike have found a haven to reflect on the past, but more importantly, also found a beacon for the future.
