The Waterberg mountain range stretches from a small mining town called Thabazimbi almost all the way to the N11 highway leading to Baltimore. This mountain range, as well as the hilly areas beyond (to the northwest) form a biome of more than 15000 square kilometers.  It was the first region in the north of South Africa identified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and is one of the major natural assets of the Limpopo province. The perfect choice for a weekend break or a romantic getaway, the Waterberg region is just under a three hours’ drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria. Located in a malaria-free zone.
