Polokwane

This area is seen as a place of "myths and legends". There is lots of game viewing opportunities, making Polokwane a popular eco-tourism destination in Southern Africa. Limpopo is divided into four tourism regions, each representing a microcosm of the area's varied and interesting cultures. Other attractions include:

The Bakone Malapa Northern Sotho Open-Air Museum, which depicts the traditional and modern-day lifestyle of this people.
The Polokwane Game Reserve, which has more than 21 species and offers scenic walks.
The Savannah Centre, a modern shopping centre.

Despite its position on the tropic of Capricorn, the climate is superb because the city is on a plateau thirteen hundred meters above sea level. Average temperatures reaching a high of 27 °C in summer and 20°C in winter permit outdoor living all year round. The excellent climate makes Polokwane an ideal place to live and also promotes sport and recreation. Summer rainfall varies between 400 - 600 mm per year.

In the 1840s, Voortrekkers under the leadership of Andries Potgieter established Zoutpansbergdorp, a town 100 km to the south east. This settlement had to be abandoned because of clashes with the local tribes. They founded a new town in 1886 and named it Pietersburg in honour of Voortrekker leader Petrus Jacobus Joubert. The British built a concentration camp here during the Boer War to house almost 4,000 Boer women and children. The town became a city on 23 April 1992 and on the 11 June 2003 changed its name to Polokwane.
