The region comprises the economic and industrial powerhouse of the PWV, more commonly known as Pretoria, Johannesburg (Witwatersrand) and Vereeniging, as well as the areas to the North West including the 'Cradle of Mankind', the Pilanesberg and Madikwe Game Reserve. From Madikwe the region follows the Limpopo River and South Africa's border with Botswana. The area has always been the strength of South Africa's economy with a large vibrant and energetic population. |
The lowveld is big game country and the opportunities for close, spectacular encounters with Africa’s "Big 5" and especially the big cats is unparalleled anywhere else in Africa. The bushveld environment, interspersed with rivers such as the Limpopo, Olifants, Luvuvhu, Shingwedzi and many others, is a fitting backdrop to this beautiful region. The area has an efficient infrastructure and supports the various private game and country lodges from both a logistical and guest access perspective. |
