Capricorn Accommodation

Why you might choose to stay in Capricorn

Lying in the heart of the Limpopo Province, the Capricorn region is unrivalled for its diverse landscape that combines to form a heady mix of grassy plains, bushveld, mountains shrouded in mist, incredible geological formations, and an equally diverse plant and animal life. But the Capricorn Region is probably best known for its bushveld. It stretches from the Ysterberg along the lower reaches of the Wolkberg Mountains to the tropic of Capricorn in the north, from whence it gets its name, identified by a geographical landmark along the N1 just north of Polokwane, the major city of the Capricorn region.

The area also boasts an assortment of cultural villages, game reserves, forests, dams and San art. Did you know? Frequent mists, an overgrowth of vegetation, the odd pocket of afromontane forest, kloofs, rolling grasslands and the undulating slopes of mountains offer time out and down time in equal measure in the Capricorn Region of Limpopo. History and culture are richly represented with archaeological and historical sites, Voortrekker history, fossils, bones and artefacts; and visitors are drawn here for the hiking, game viewing and 4x4 adventure safaris. The African Ivory Route, no longer associated with the legendary exploitation of elephants and their ivory, is today a series of semi-permanent tent camps throughout the Capricorn region, with local community participation, that extends further afield in the Limpopo, so experience the best of the region, by staying at one of the more luxurious Capricorn accommodation options.
