Louis Trichardt, tourist Mecca ...

Louis Trichard - Northern Province - South Africa

Gateway to Africa . . .

An unforgettable world lies captivated in the heart of the mystical Soutpansberg ... a world as yet largely undiscovered by tourists. An impressive panorama of mountain and bushveld. Many a gorge and precipice, the rocky highveld and blue-hazed mountains descend into the warm extravagance of fertile valleys far below. Cool plantations and exotic indigenous rain forests engulf the mountain slopes. Vistas from unexpected viewpoints stretch as far as the eye can see. Further north, gently undulating and densely bushed plains, populated with the evergreen mopani and mysterious baobab trees. A world boasting a rich natural heritage, including rare bird, wildlife and plant species. Bushmen and other indigenous tribes is eternally intertwined with the history of Voortrekkers, hunters and traders.


The Soutpansberg region boasts one of the richest natural heritages in the country. A wealth of indigenous vegetation, the vast variety of birdlife, including rare birds of prey, and the cream of South Africa's wildlife and endangered species found in this region makes for the ideal introduction to the mysteries of the African Wild. Various nature reserves invite the visitor to experience Africa's true heartbeat:
