Groenkloof Nature Reserve, Pretoria, South Africa
Groenkloof Nature Reserve is a great day out for hiking, cycling, or even horseback riding right in Pretoria! There are a few places where you can see the city clearly, but in most of the park, you feel far from the madding crowd.
Whenever we went, the parking lot filled up quickly, but we rarely saw more than a handful of people once we got out on one of the trails.
Don't forget to take plenty of water and a few snacks.

Hiking The Hennops Trail
Well hello there, I'm at it again...after a little too long off the hiking trail and definitely too much Bintang I've really started getting back into the swing of things. For me, the swing of things usually includes heading out the Hennops River Hiking Trail.
I love Hennops because it's close to Johannesburg and why wouldn't you want to spend a day feeding horses, dipping your toes in a river and exploring caves.

Queen Rose Hiking Trail M&M visit Aug 2018 ziz
Queen Rose Hiking Trail - a great place to get away from it all. This video is intended to help you feel. see and hear the beauty available when you hike or bird watch through the area. The hiking trail is considered to be one of the most scenic in South Africa . It takes you amongst indigenous forests, over mountain passes, through the Montrose plantation and along the Queens River. It has spectacular scenery and wonderful wildlife and birds - about 350 different bird species. It has suspension bridges, river crossings and various splash pools, where you can cool down along the route which make the Queen Rose hike more than a simple nature walk - it’s an adventure. We went on a brief trip to it this past weekend to get a feel for its current up graded status and being in a car we did bypass a lot of it but were very impressed with its beauty and great hiking trails.

Second Boer War
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902) was fought between the British Empire and two Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa. It is also known variously as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, or South African War. Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures brought them to terms.
The war started with the British overconfident and under-prepared. The Boers were very well armed and struck first, besieging Ladysmith, Kimberley, and Mahikeng in early 1900, and winning important battles at Colenso, Magersfontein and Stormberg. Staggered, the British brought in large numbers of soldiers and fought back. General Redvers Buller was replaced by Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener. They relieved the three besieged cities, and invaded the two Boer republics in late 1900. The onward marches of the British Army, well over 400,000 men, were so overwhelming that the Boers did not fight staged battles in defence of their homeland. The British quickly seized control of all of the Orange Free State and Transvaal, as the civilian leadership went into hiding or exile. In conventional terms, the war was over. The British officially annexed the two countries in 1900. Back home, Britain's Conservative government wanted to capitalize on this success and use it to maneuver an early general election, dubbed a khaki election to give the government another six years of power in London. British military efforts were aided by Cape Colony, the Colony of Natal and some native African allies, and further supported by volunteers from the British Empire, including Southern Africa, the Australian colonies, Canada, India and New Zealand. All other nations were neutral, but public opinion in them was largely hostile to the British. Inside the UK and its Empire there also was significant opposition to the Second Boer War.
The Boers refused to surrender. They reverted to guerrilla warfare under new generals Louis Botha, Jan Smuts, Christiaan de Wet and Koos de la Rey. Two more years of surprise attacks and quick escapes followed. As guerrillas without uniforms, the Boer fighters easily blended into the farmlands, which provided hiding places, supplies, and horses. The UK's solution was to set up complex nets of block houses, strong points, and barbed wire fences, partitioning off the entire conquered territory. The civilian farmers were relocated into concentration camps, where very large proportions died of disease, especially the children, who mostly lacked immunities. Then British mounted infantry units systematically tracked down the highly mobile Boer guerrilla units. The battles at this stage were small operations with few combat casualties (most of the dead were victims of disease). The war ended in surrender and British terms with the Treaty of Vereeniging in May 1902. The British successfully won over the Boer leaders, who now gave full support to the new political system. Both former republics were incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910, as part of the British Empire.
