About Centurion

Try 'biltong', a dried cured meat, or 'boerewors', a traditional South African sausage, often enjoyed at braais (barbecues).

Driving is on the left side of the road. Speed limits are strictly enforced, and seat belts are mandatory for all passengers.

Dress modestly when visiting sites like the Voortrekker Monument. Avoid shorts and sleeveless tops as a sign of respect.

Bargaining is common in flea markets but not in established shops or malls.

Look for 'daily specials' at local restaurants or visit food markets for affordable and authentic meals.

Most attractions allow photography, but some may charge a fee or restrict flash photography. Always check signage or ask staff.

A handshake with a smile is standard. Afrikaans-speaking locals may greet with 'Hallo' or 'Goeie dag' (Good day).

Consider using ride-sharing or public transport to reduce your carbon footprint. Many hotels and restaurants also practice sustainability.

Tipping 10-15% in restaurants is standard. For other services like taxis or tour guides, a small tip is appreciated.

The Centurion Carnival in October is a highlight, featuring live music, food stalls, and family-friendly activities.
