Luxury holidays in Soutpansberg Mountains

When to go

The mountains are at their most comfortable between May and September, when cool, dry days create ample opportunity for hiking and wildlife spotting. From November to March, summer rains bring greener scenery and migratory birdlife.

Getting there

• Planes

  Polokwane International Airport is the region’s main gateway, best reached via a connection in Johannesburg. From there, it’s around a 90-minute to two-hour drive to most of the Soutpansberg range.

• Automobiles

  Soutpansberg’s sprawling landscapes mean a car will come in handy, but be aware that winding mountain roads can make journeys a little longer than expected.
