Limpopo Province
Limpopo is well endowed with cultural diversity, historical sites and tourist attractions. This is an excellent destination for a get-away-from-it-all holiday in the bush with first class accommodation and service. Key attractions include:
- The Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus) vicinity has several nature reserves. The Arend Dieperink Museum has a fine cultural-historical collection, and the Makapan Caves are famous for their fossils.
- The Thabazimbi district is one of the fastest growing ecotourism areas in South Africa, thanks to its outstanding game reserves.
- Bela-Bela (formerly Warmbaths) is well-known among South Africans, and increasingly foreigners, for its hot springs, fun slides and scenery.
- The Waterberg Range is rich in indigenous trees, streams, springs, wetlands, bird life and dramatic vistas.
- The Modjadji Nature Reserve, north of Tzaneen, is named after the legendary Rain Queen, Modjadji, the inspiration for Rider Haggard’s She.
- Phalaborwa has one of the country’s top-rated golf courses – just watch out for animals on the fairways.
- The Schoemansdal Voortrekker Town and Museum, west of Louis Trichardt, is built on the site of an original Voortrekker village and depicts their lifestyle in the mid 18th century.
