THE WATERBERG - LIMPOPO

|
|
  Waterberg District, Limpopo: Situated in the magnificent
Waterberg Mountain Range of Limpopo, the Waterberg District is the ideal getaway where the
weary traveller can relax and revel in the great natural beauty of the bushveld savannah
and its rich wildlife heritage.
The Waterberg Mountains stretch along more than 5 000 km2 of spectacular vistas and scenic
valleys - the ideal destination off the beaten tourism track.
The Waterberg is steeped in a history and some artefacts found here date back to Stone Age
times. The area is a mosaic of culture and tradition as is reflected by the different
rural tribes such as the Bapedi, Tswana and Basotho, while the Voortrekkers also left
their distinctive mark on the area. (continued below).

Waterberg
District: Commercial agriculture is an integral part of Limpopo, and cattle
ranching and maize farming are regional institutions - the water-rich valleys of the
Limpopo River on the Botswana border provide sweet bushveld grazing, while the plains of
the Springbok Flats near the towns of Bela-Bela and
Mokopane are covered with a colourful quilt of carefully cultivated fields of maize and
sunflowers. Otherwise, the bushveld landscape, interspersed with sandstone buttresses and
baobab, Marula and fever trees, supports a number of towns that make up one of the
country's fastest-growing industrial and agricultural districts.
This is one of the most mineralised regions in the world and numerous towns form part of
the Bushveld Igneous Complex - a 50,000km² treasure trove yielding massive amounts of
minerals such as vanadium, platinum, nickel and chromium. The Waterberg District offers
the tourist a bit of both worlds - an infrastructure of excellent facilities and modern
conveniences found in the many game reserves and conservation areas, coupled with the
opportunity to experience the African wilderness in its pristine state. |
