Bushveld Region

This is an area where the heat is quenched and aching muscles soothed by the mineral baths of the myriad hot spring resorts.

The Waterberg ('Water Mountain') is a unique wilderness area of South Africa yet to be fully discovered. One of the country's lesser known geographical wonders and blueish in colour, the range supports a biome spanning over 15,000 km², offering breathtaking valleys far from the madding crowd of the bustling tourist centres.

The natural attractions of the Waterberg remain its greatest allure: the Waterberg Savannah Biosphere, Nylsvley wetlands, Marakele National Park, Lapalala Wilderness Area and the hot mineral springs of Bela-Bela.

Little wonder the area has been described as a geographical marvel supporting a biome of about 14,500 km² and offering scenic vistas, exciting game-viewing in its numerous game reserves and a holiday in the mountains - rustic and close to nature or splendidly opulent in luxurious lodges.

The natural splendour of the Waterberg Region appeals particularly to those in need of a place to unwind.
