Fort Klapperkop

5 Nataleen Vorster - a year ago

Definitely an interesting experience with the kids. This fort is one of the restores and neatest forts in Pretoria.
Has great history, displays and lots of information to share with the visitors.
Has an old ammunition room with wide variety of guns on display from Lee Anfield, Mauser, Martini u0026 Henry and various bullets.

Huge Canons outside Creusot Canon 150mm and 2 x 37mm. Also a 37mm Maxim Norden veldt Canon.

Displays for the kitchen with glass and utensils from the time and even uniforms.

There is even an old tramshed and steam engine on display.

To out surprise their is even a braai area where you can picnic. Unfortunately no restaurant or shop on site, so make sure to pack water and everything you need.
There are public toilets.

Everything is outdoors so wear comfortable shoes and hats and don't forget sunblock.

It was reactively affordable to go inside R25 per adult and less than that per kid. Open weekends 9am to 5pm. Not sure about weekdays.

It is a small museum with a huge history. Entrance fees are not much, and they have no card facilities. I loved the memorial of our boys that died on our borders.

The starting point for the hiking is not clearly marked but it's a good place

Randomly visited this monument/monument. Very affordable to visit, only R25, normal fee with special fee for students and pensioners. The Fort is well looked after, in great condition and one hell of a view over Pretoria/Centurion.

Great place. Unfortunately the manager just decided to leave early, and the guards at the bottom didn't even say so, causing us to drive all the way up for nothing.

Fort Klapperkop was the third fort erected before the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) to protect Pretoria. It has been restored with historical accuracy and arranged as a museum, with permanent exhibitions of Anglo-Boer War objects and furniture. The fort has the following rooms: Ammunitie, Hospitaal, Keuken, Machine, Telegraaf, Stal and Manschappen.
