Perdekop, which translates to 'horse hill' in English, is popular for horse riding in the nearby hills.
A visit to Oom Gert Van Der Westhuizen's private Roodedraai Museum, which is one of the largest collections of Anglo-Boer War memorabilia in the country, is highly recommended.
The old school building has been reconstructed into an historic village, complete with a general store, school house, post office and restaurant. His most prized possession is a letter penned by Sir Winston Churchill, which can be found on the shelves in his private museum where thousands of artefacts dating back to well before the Anglo-Boer War can also be explored.
Among his many relics is a stone with which Dingaan’s impis sharpened their spears, medicine bottles and other curiosities dug up from the British concentration camps. It’s an educational trip that marvels both children and adults.
