About Polokwane

Welcome to Polokwane in South Africa - also known as The great unknown in the far north. If you zre in search of a bonafide South African adventure and are enchanted by stories of ivory hunters and gold traders of yesteryear, then using Polokwane as a base venture out into the Limpopo province on a voyage of discovery that will take you along an old Ivory Route and the wild Mohlapetsi Valley in South Africa.

Around Polokwane, adventure is just the rev of an engine away. The city is the perfect starting point to the old African Ivory Route - a self-drive journey through the wildest heart of Limpopo province. It features a series of rustic, self-catering bush camps that follow in the footsteps of historical characters like rain queens and elephant hunters. The cultural and natural richness of the route provide ideal off-road travelling opportunities. To avoid disrupting ecosystems, the roads are basic and cater for 4x4s only. The bush camps are well-placed within the rural areas and nature reserves for tourists to experience the beauty and character of each area.

Limpopo's rugged surrounds were made for mountain and quad bikes. Technical routes through hilly, forested terrain and wildlife sanctuaries will challenge riders of all abilities.
