Area Info

Polokwane, which means "Sanctuary" in Northern Sotho, is the capital city of South Africa’s Limpopo Province. Formerly known as Pietersburg, it is the largest urban area north of Gauteng. Polokwane was also one of the nine cities that hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The city offers numerous opportunities for ecotourism, with access to a range of nature and wildlife experiences. The Polokwane Bird and Reptile Park hosts over 280 bird species, while the Polokwane Game Reserve features a diverse array of native South African wildlife, birds, and plant species within a pristine bushveld setting. The Moletzie Bird Sanctuary protects rare bird species such as the Cape vulture. Nearby, the Modjadji Rainforest near Duiwelskloof contains the world’s largest population of indigenous cycads, and the Cheune Crocodile Farm offers educational insights into crocodile life.

Polokwane also boasts a rich cultural scene. The city’s public art gallery houses a significant art collection accessible to visitors, and it has the highest number of public sculptures per capita in South Africa’s parks. Notably, it was the first city to unveil a bust of former president Nelson Mandela in its City Square (Civic Gardens), a tribute personally authorised by Mandela himself.

Polokwane is also recognised as South Africa’s leading hunting destination.
