Introduction to North West and Limpopo:
Authentic Africa in the North West of the Kruger Park and 2h30 drive from Johannesburg. A region of calm and serenity sought after by lovers of Eco-tourism, in the heart of the African bush, where legends flow like a river along its preserved landscapes: 3 mountain ranges (Waterberg, Soutpansberg, Drakensberg) with indigenous forests.
Discover the majestic baobabs in the North, some of them being 3000 years old! Visit the African artists villages, dancers and traditional singers, wood sculptors and potters and experience the Cultures of the Venda and Tsonga people in the region of the Ribolla mountain,. This is where the lengendary Queen Modjadji was said to have had magic powers to make rain.
Limpopo is home to the Big 5 (Marakele National Park, Welgevonden reserve), as well as more than 500 species of trees and 600 species of birds, a favorite for the bird-lovers!
The population is 5.7 Millions and the language spoken is Suthu (53%) followed by Songa (23%) and Venda (15%)
Extend your stay in the area with a visit in the NorthWest province (with Tswana cultural influence): discover Sun City, a luxury tourist resort fantasy in the middle of a arid Bushy plain. A visit of the region is incomplete without a stop in one of the Game reserves: Pilanesberg National Park (formed of 4 concentric circles of mountains, site of an ancient volcano) , Mashatu, Madikwe reserve (76 000 hectares!)…This region is a malaria free zone.
