Waterberg

The Waterberg District is located in the Waterberg Mountain Range in Limpopo. Here in this magnificent mountain range, visitors can enjoy the splendid beauty of the bushveld savannah and the plethora of fascinating wildlife. The mountains stretch 5,000 square kilometres, and this destination, off the beaten tourist track, offers scenic views of the valleys.


The History of Waterberg

The history of Waterberg dates all the way back to the early development of the human race. Archaeologists have found Stone Age artefacts here that reveal the emerging story of mankind. The region also reflects the cultures and traditions of various people who have lived here, and this history includes the story of different tribes like the Basotho, Tswana, and Bapedi, as well as the early adventures of the Voortrekkers.

An Agricultural District

Today commercial agriculture is an essential part of this region. Limpopo is a mosaic of maize farms and cattle ranches. The Limpopo River, which is near the border of Botswana, provide grazing land for cattle, and the Springbok Flats region, which is near the towns of Mokopane and Bela-Bela, provide land for fields of maize and sunflowers.
Fast Growing Towns and Abundant Mineral Reserves

Apart from the grazing lands and cultivated fields, the bushveld landscape consists of the eccentric baobab trees, which look like trees with the roots growing skyward, and sandstone buttresses. Numerous towns dot the landscape, and, in fact, they represent the fastest growing regions of South Africa. The Waterberg region is a section of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, an area spanning over 50, 000 square kilometres that is rich in minerals like chromium, nickel, platinum, and vanadium.

Waterberg Accommodations

The natural beauty of the Waterberg region lends itself to an ideal destination for business and holiday travellers who want to experience the pristine African wilderness. Accommodations include self-catering apartments, bed-and-breakfast lodges, guest houses, and hotels.
