Discover the Beauty of Polokwane Nature Reserve

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start by heading towards Polokwane city center. From the N1 highway, take the R71 exit towards Polokwane. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Silicon Road (R37). Turn left onto Silicon Road, and after a short distance, you'll find the Polokwane Nature Reserve on your right, opposite the Pietersburg Civil Aerodrome. There is no entry fee for the park, but be sure to check for any vehicle-related fees or parking charges.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a bus or taxi to Polokwane city center. Upon arrival in Polokwane, you can catch a local taxi (minibus taxi) to the Polokwane Nature Reserve. Inform the driver of your destination – they are familiar with the area. The fare should be around R10 to R15. The ride will take approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic. Ensure you return to the taxi rank to catch a ride back to the city.

• Walking

  If you're staying nearby and prefer to walk, you can access the nature reserve on foot from certain areas of Polokwane. From the city center, head east on the R71 road until you reach Silicon Road. Follow Silicon Road northward, and you will eventually arrive at the entrance to Polokwane Nature Reserve. This walk is approximately 5 kilometers and may take about an hour, so wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
