Area Info

That Phalaborwa never gets cold is something of a euphemism to describe the intense heat that can grip the modern, copper mining town, situated just 3 kilometres from the Kruger National Park, during summer in particular.

It does render the town of Phalaborwa a great place to stay during winter, however, and many tourists take advantage of the warm temperature for a winter sojourn, particularly with the lure of the Kruger just up the road.

Phalaborwa is the site of the ‘Big Hole', the earth's largest man-made hole, visible from space and pretty awe-inspiring, even if you're not impressed by mines in general.
