Information about Northern Province

The Great North Road - part of colonial visionary Cecil Rhodes's planned 'Cape-to-Cairo' route - cuts through the middle of the region, linking the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria with the Zimbabwe capital of Harare and points beyond.

Pietersburg, the regional capital and largest centre, straddles the road at about the halfway mark - a pleasant, fairly substantial place with a busy airport, and a Nature Reserve that hosts rhino and a fine selection of antelope. More intriguing, perhaps, is the game sanctuary near Potgietersrus, some 60 kilometres down the road to the south-west, where exotic wildlife species - including llamas, hog deer and pygmy hippos - are reared. Other towns along the highway include Warmbaths, Nylstroom, Naboomspruit, Louis Trichardt and the last stop before the border, Messina.

For nature lovers the most notable feature of this, the most northern of South Africa's provinces, is the fact that the biggest part of the great Kruger National Park is housed within it. Here one can see the Big Five and a myriad of other animals, plants and birds.  The northern section of the Kruger National Park forms the provinces eastern boarder and boasts the 'Big Five', crocodile, hippo and many antelope species. Next door to the Kruger lie a number of game farms and private game reserves, including Timbavati, where the famous white lions can be seen. Other sites include the Magoebaskloof, and Pietersburg, the main city of the area, has a municipal game reserve well worth visiting. One can pay a visit to the Modjaji Nature Reserve, near Tzaneen, home of the mythical Rain Queen of the Lobedu tribe.

Sports enthusiasts will find a wealth of opportunities from a canoe adventure on the Limpopo River to hiking or climbing the mountainous terrain of the Soutpansberg.  The province allows for seasonal hunting of animal that would otherwise have been culled for population control.  A multitude of well-stocked streams will provide endless fishing opportunities for the avid angler and for the less adventurous, many of the towns offer facilities for bowls, golf, swimming and tennis to name a few. Equally popular, especially for relaxation, are the mineral baths of the province's hot springs.

A visit to this ancient land teeming with wildlife, embracing historic cultures and offering a myriad of outdoor adventures will not be easily forgotten.
