Featured Destination: North West Province

In about two hours, just a short drive from Johannesburg, you can go from the cosmopolitan capital to coming face to face with the BIG FIVE!  South Africa’s North West Province is home to the fantastic Pilansberg National Game Park and the fabulous Madikwe Game Reserves. The Cradle of Mankind, situated on the border of Gauteng and the North West Province, boasts discoveries of some of the oldest human fossils ever found.  The North West Province is not only great for history and nature; it is also where South Africa’s own Sin City, appropriately named Sun City provides endless entertainment for the young and old. Featuring water parks, golf courses, casinos and top-flight shows, Sun City truly has something for everyone. It is considered a destination unto itself and is as popular with the locals as it is with our international visitors. Here is an insider’s tip, when you go to Sun City, make sure you book yourself on an Elephant back safari. These gigantic beasts easily navigate the bush, fields and mountains and provide you with an unbelievably close look at some of Africa’s most amazing wildlife.
