Visiting South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

jam backpackers has a variety of STUFFS to keeps you busy between games.

 

 

Day Tours
 

Pretoria:
A Visit to the Capitol of South Africa has many rewards.
Not the typical big City Feeling but more likely to charm you with all the old Victorian style buildings and many parks.
Pretoria is a must see, and promises to have you awestruck with all the places to see and visit.

Johannesburg:
South Africa’s biggest City. The richest and most diverse place in our Country. From the wealthy Sandton City to the township Alexandra neighbouring it.
Johannesburg promises to wow you in every way.
We have daily tours to many historical places including The Apartheids Museum and Soweto where Nelson Mandela stayed.

 

 

Cullinan:
Cycle back in time into an immaculately restored, yet living, growing community that is as much about the future as the past.

Cullinan, the precious gem, is 30 minutes drive from Tshwane (Pretoria) and less than an hour from Johannesburg.
Clusters of original stone miner's cottages, a turn-of-the-century railway station and authentic buildings flank the jacaranda and oak tree lined avenue.
The Edwardian setting of the Cullinan mining town, has a proud involvement in heritage and conservation matters. The 2nd World War POW's left behind amazing art works and architectural reminders of their stay in Cullinan and surrounding areas. The largest allied prisoner of war camp in Africa was established here and the graves of 264 Italian prisoners are still preserved.

The famous architect, Sir Herbert Baker, also left his mark on our village, as he designed the beautiful St George's Anglican stone church in Oak Avenue.

Big 5 Safari:
Dinokeng is Africa’s newest Big5 Game Reserve. Jam Backpackers are situated right inside it. We do daily tours inside Dinokeng where one can easily find the Big5.
We are also a departure point for longer tours right up to 21days.

 

 

 

 

Birding Safari:
Located in between 5 Birding Hotspots, Jam Backpackers is an ideal base for any Birder.
Our guides are esteemed birders and will point out all types of wonderful birds even for the untrained eye.
10 min from Seringveld Conservancy.
5 min from Roodeplaat Dam Nature Reserve.
Next to De Tweedespruit Conservancy.
25 min from Rust de Winter and within easy reach to Mkombo Dam.

White Lion Safari:
The day visitors program contains lion readings, game drives and eco routes. We also feature archery. The lion readings start off on the deck, with a great view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Here we give you the primary presentation on lions, along with our theories and facts. After this we head down to the camps, where the 3 lions can be viewed from about 4metres, while we show you the practical counterparts of the pre-given theories and facts, while the lions are being fed. This takes up to an hour and a half.
