The gateway city pulsates with things to do, and 2010 supporters will soon find that there’s not a dull moment to be had.
The city centre houses shops, pubs, malls, galleries and museums. And on the outskirts is the awesome African-style Meropa Casino & Entertainment World. Try your hand at the tables or slot machines, relax with a cocktail at the bar, or visit the African craft and cultural market there.
For something completely different, book a guided tour to the home of Amarula Liqueur to see how this legendary drink is made and enjoyed by millions worldwide. Enjoy the atmosphere of a good old-fashioned village pub at the Iron Crown in the nearby mountain hamlet of Haenertsburg, or head for the Ranch Hotel, where you can get up close and personal with a pride of lions before enjoying a hearty meal outdoors.
You can shop till you drop in and around the city. Savannah Mall has a wealth of first-class shops selling leather goods, gold and jewellery, art, crafts and curios. There are also movie houses and restaurants. South of Polokwane the Gemco Arts & Crafts curio centre is sure to appeal with its selection of drums, gold jewellery, curios and carvings.
And of course, Polokwane is a gateway to the bush. There are plenty of game reserves and parks close to the city. You can also embark on an elephant back safari – adventures don’t get much bigger than this! Or, take a guided tour and have your fortune told by a sangoma – a traditional healer.
