The province of Limpopo is known for mining and the town of Thabazimbi, South Africa is certainly a prime example. The name of the town translates as ‘mountain of iron’ and it is referring to the fact that one of the largest iron deposits in the country is found there. In fact, over two million tons of iron ore are mined from the town each year. However, chances are that your stay in a Thabazimbi budget hotel will have more to do with the other attractions in the region.

Depending on where your discount Thabazimbi hotel is located in the town, you may have a view of one of several mountains. The Kransberg is the dominant feature on the landscape, though the Witfonteinrand and Boshofberg mountains are also within sight of the town. Approximately 20 kilometers away from Thabazimbi you will find the Marakele National Park. It sits in the Waterberg Mountains and contains some exotic wildlife, including some of the famous Tuli Elephants.
