Discover the Tranquility of Spitskop Dam

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start by heading towards the nearest major town in North West, such as Mahikeng. From Mahikeng, take the N18 road heading northeast. Continue on the N18 for approximately 60 kilometers until you reach the junction with the R49. Turn left onto the R49 and follow it for about 30 kilometers. You will then see signs directing you towards Spitskop Dam. As you approach the dam, you might need to navigate on smaller local roads, so keep an eye out for road signs. The final part of the drive might have gravel sections, so ensure your vehicle is suitable for this terrain.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from major towns like Rustenburg or Mahikeng to the nearest bus stop to Spitskop Dam. Be sure to check the schedule in advance, as services may not be frequent. Once you arrive at the bus stop, you may need to arrange a local taxi or shuttle to cover the last few kilometers to the dam. It’s advisable to ask locals or the bus driver for the best options for the last leg of your journey, as this may vary depending on the time of day.

• Taxi or Shuttle Service

  If you're close to Spitskop Dam but don't have a car, consider hiring a local taxi or shuttle service. You can find these services in larger towns. Ensure you agree on a fare before starting your journey, as fares may vary depending on your starting point. The taxi or shuttle will take you directly to the dam, making it a convenient option if public transportation is limited.
