Bruma

South Africa

Bloomfield is for travelers wanting to experience South African history and politics, not for those seeking a busy city or beach. Best time to go is April to September, when the weather is cool. Budget around 3000-5000 Rands. The city is small, with short travel times between areas. Must-see: South African Parliament and Fortress of Freedom. Skip the zoo – it's small and lacks facilities. Avoid hailing taxis in the city center, as prices can be inflated.
