The city is also home to a fascinating collection of museums, including the Voortrekker Monument and the Freedom Park, both offering rich insights into South Africa’s complex history.

Spend your day exploring the city’s cultural gems or simply relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of the Ivory Manor before continuing your adventure.

Limpopo Safari: The Thrills of the African Wild
