Looking for a base from where you can explore the Waterberg area, Limpopo Province? Thabazimbi is your answer. The name literally means mountain of iron and was named for the massive iron ore deposits discovered there in 1919. The Arcelormittal mine just outside the town boasts one of the largest mining shafts in Africa. Mining operations provides economic activity and development for countless households and a thriving town as well as several conservation and community projects.
The town is also situated in one of the most breathtaking parts of South Africa – the Waterberg, home to one of our youngest National Parks – Marakele. The surrounding landscape is dramatic mountains, rolling grasslands and a feeling like you are the first human being to ever set foot in this place.
Thabazimbi is the perfect springboard for Waterberg exploration with a quite few accommodation establishments, lodges and activities.
