There are some fantastic travel experiences to be enjoyed in Polokwane and beyond.
Popular Resort, Bela Bela, Limpopo

From Johannesburg, the N1 to Polokwane cuts through the floodplains of the Waterberg mountains. The area is home to exclusive bushveld getaways, wild animals and the beautiful and remote Marakele National Park. The charming town of Bela Bela is at the centre of the region, and a great stop-over for travellers heading north. The world-famous Kruger National Park is only a few hours’ drive from Polokwane.

The African Ivory Route is a self-drive route through the wildest heart of Limpopo province. The route forms a 200km arc that follows the peripheral borders of the province bordering Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana, and includes the far-flung reaches of the northern Kruger National Park. Get in that 4x4 and check it out!

Discover the arts, crafts and legends of the Venda people. Take a drive along the Ribolla Open Africa Route – this route takes you into the sub-tropical area around Makhado, where you can visit artists, meet potters, enjoy traditional dancing and find out about the mythology and wonders of Limpopo.
