Local Attractions
Once known as Potgietersrus, Mokopane lies in the heart of the Waterberg – about two hours from Gauteng. It is surrounded by scenic and historic towns such as Naboom/Mookgopong, Nylstroom/Modimole and Pietersburg/Polokwane.
For years, Potties - as the locals still call it - has functioned as a farming support town. Today, Mokopane offers a selection of outdoor activities, and a good selection of art galleries, antique shops and museums to keep visitors entertained.

Makapansgat ValleyA basin rich in magnificence and biodiversity, the Makapansgat Valley in Mokopane displays some of the most astounding beauty in Limpopo. Not only is it of interest to paleontologists - numerous caves in the valley hold fossils that date back to 3.3 million years before the present.
This series of caves together form a national monument and primates in the shape of baboons and vervet monkeys make this their playground, whilst bush babies or galagos come out at night to forage for food. https://www.sa-venues.com/game-reserves/makapansgat.php |
