The end of the year is fast approaching! Whether you decide to go for a delicious dining experience at a top restaurant or put your colleagues to the test with a fun team building experience, Mogale City offers a variety of end of the year celebration venues.

Conveniently situated an hour from Pretoria and Johannesburg, our city is an ideal place for year-end functions away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Mogale City tourism and hospitality offers peaceful surroundings with a range of indoor and outdoor activities and diverse dining scenes to close off the year.

Here are top five end of year venues:

Carnivore restaurant and Misty Hills
This popular, award-winning internationally renowned Carnivore restaurant boats a delectable game and domestic meat dishes to choose from and an extensive wine cellar as well as five different desserts and a choice of coffees to complement your meal. The restaurant is situated around a huge open fire, surrounded by 52 Masaai tribal spears holding 10 different types of meat such as pork, lamb, beef and chicken, ribs as well as sausages and for the more adventurous, meats such as crocodile, zebra, giraffe, impala and ostrich. This restaurant can cater up to 500 delegates for a year-end function.

Located on the same property is the Misty Hills Country Hotel, which is set in the heart of the Kromdraai Valley and a stone throw away from the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. This venue offers facilities ideal for that special and well-deserved year-end function.
