Thabazimbi Property | Northern Province

Thabazimbi forms part of the Northern Province and is renowned for the abundance of private game reserves in the area, which draws a large percentage of the tourist market in the country.  The recent addition of the Marakele National Park makes this region one of the fastest growing eco-tourist points in South Africa.

The game reserves in Thabazimbi are popular with the locals, as well as tourists, especially because the Northern Province is within easy reach of Gauteng.  The name means ‘mountain of iron’, which is a testament to the discovery of iron ore reefs in the area.  As the mining activities gained force, so the region’s prosperity increased.

The mine at Thabazimbi boasts one of the largest mining shafts in Africa and more than 2 million tons of iron ore are mined here each year, before being hauled by rail to Mittal Steel.  The surroundings are some of the most scenic African bushveld that can be found and are also a literal hunting mecca.  There is no doubt that buying property in Thabazimbi is an investment in an enriching Limpopo lifestyle.
