Your trip, at your pace

A little planning. A lot to look forward to.

A practical starting point for a stay in Phalaborwa. Keep the days flexible and leave room for the unexpected sighting.

Start with your base

Choose accommodation that suits your plans, then decide which days belong to the bush and which belong to town. Confirm travel arrangements before paying for activities tied to a particular arrival time.

Getting here

SANParks describes the road approach from Polokwane via the R71 and Tzaneen. Check your route before departure and allow for stops. Ask your accommodation for useful arrival directions.

If you are flying, confirm current airport, airline and transfer arrangements directly.
