North West is an inland South African province that borders Botswana. Its landscape is defined by mountains in the northeast and bushveld scattered with trees and shrubs. The province is home to Sun City, an upscale resort with hotels, a casino, and a water park with a massive wave pool. Nearby is Pilanesberg National Park, with an extinct volcano and more than 7,000 animals, including lions and elephants.
Lying west of Gauteng and extending to the Botswana border, the North West Province is flanked by the Kalahari Desert and the beautiful Magaliesberg mountain range. The area is not only one of South Africa’s top malaria free wildlife destinations, boasting rewarding wildlife and adventure experiences, but it is also the site of the origins of humankind, and rich with archaeological discoveries. Visit the Pilanesberg National Park, on the site of an extinct volcano, the Lost City’s fairytale like hotel and water world wonderland, numerous game farms, Groot Marico, and villages like Delareyville, which surprise with their history and gorgeous blue skies.
