TTake a Game Drive

When you think of South Africa, the incredible Kruger National Park most certainly comes to mind. Not only can you catch a glimpse of the famous Big Five, but you will find yourself surrounded by hundreds of species of birds, ancient trees, winding rivers, superb accommodation and adventure. Basically, it’s a one-stop shop for all of your wildlife dreams. You don’t actually need to stay in the park to check it out; take a game drive for a part of a day, have a bite to eat there, and then drive back to your hotel. Remember that the best times to see animals is in the morning or in the evening, especially in summer.

If you are weary from your travels and are looking for a pick me up, Bakwena Express Spa is the place for you. From a quick 60 min treatment to a romantic experience under the stars, you will be sure to leave relaxed and rejuvenated.

Madi a Thava Mountain Lodge

This is a delightfully different experience for those looking to add a bit of culture to their lives.

Delve into the fascinating story of the people of Limpopo, said to be one of the oldest civilisations in the world.

Zwashu prides itself on traditional African food, served with flair. The restaurant is in the heart of Polokwane and offers items such as stews, shisanyama and delicacies like chicken feet. If you are looking for an authentic taste sensation this is the place for you!

The Tlou at the Magoebaskloof Hotel is an old school hotel dining room which will take you back to the days when waiters all wore smart white shirts, napkins were starched to perfection and there was more cutlery on the table that you knew what to do with. Be sure to dress nicely as this is a relatively snazzy place. You can expect an à la carte menu, buffets, and on special occasions a carvery. The cuisine is an interesting mix of local area favourites such as trout, and good old fashioned comfort food. One of the signature dishes is the "Magoebaskloof Pot" a miniature Potjie pot with a secret recipe that leaves you wanting more...
