South Africa Provinces | Limpopo Province | Pietersburg | Polokwane |Capricorn Region | Limpopo Valley | Valley of the Olifants

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.

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.
