Polokwane (previously Pietersburg) is the capital city of the Limpopo Province and one of the fastest growing cities in South Africa. It’s ideally situated to serve as a gateway to SA’s neighbouring countries of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland and boasts a rich cultural, political and archeologically important past.
Bakone Malapa gives visitors an insight into what life was like for northern Sotho tribes 250 years ago. The village – a living museum – consists of two lapas (homesteads) where tribesmen and women go about daily life, which includes making drums and fires, grinding maize, carving wood and brewing beer, as well as basket weaving, pottery and beading. Guided tours are available. Guides are renowned for their story telling and ability to make the past come to life.
Nearby attractions include a bird sanctuary, game reserve, hiking trails and rocking paintings.
