Known
as the “Heritage Province”, the North
West is a rewarding holiday destination that offers
exciting wildlife and adventure encounters as well
as the opportunity to participate in a rich cultural
and historical heritage.
Home to the fantastic Pilanesberg and Madikwe
game reserves, North West has the big five, fantastic
bird-life and wide-open African skies. The area
boasts archaeological discoveries that go back
to the beginnings of humankind, as well as the
world-famous Sun City hotel complex, creatively
dedicated to ancient lost civilizations and modern-day
pleasures.
This is also the land of the author Herman Charles
Bosman and his tales of Oom Schalk and the Groot
Marico where mampoer (a very potent home-distilled
peach brandy) and local legend were born and
where time stands still. This is where the Bakgatla
tribe believe in totem animals and that their
wellbeing is dictated by the stars.
