POLOKWANE

The sprawling metropolis of Limpopo by no means rivals Johannesburg or Cape Town for size, but Polokwane holds a considerable number of aces up its sleeve.

This city of amazing contrasts is a colourful fusion of urban life and rural persuasion. It is the gateway to the Kruger National Park, Mozambique and Zimbabwe and provides a home to discerning businesspeople and travellers.
Found during the gold rush in the 1880’s, the city was originally named Pietersburg after General Piet Joubert. In 2002 the city was renamed Polokwane, a Sotho word that means “Place of Safety” and proudly upholds its name with a low crime rate.

Polokwane, with its tree-lined streets, bustling CBD, vibrant history, art, culture, natural beauty and wealth of diversions offers a bit of everything to all.

The city, said to be the fastest growing in the southern hemisphere, provides tourists with a range of affordable and upmarket accommodation at world-class lodges, guesthouses and hotels. Visitors can enjoy action packed activities from paintball to go-carting, enjoy local and contemporary fare at unique restaurants and discover the local passion for art and culture at museums, galleries and shops.

Polokwane’s most endearing quality is the vast natural beauty it’s set in, providing the allure of the rugged Bushveld as a memorable backdrop.
