Out and about in Limpopo

Our Avis Phalaborwa Airport Branch is your gateway to all that is good about Phalaborwa. Collect your Avis hire car from our desk, located just past the baggage terminal, and you are set for your voyage of discovery among the beautiful landscapes of the Valley of the Olifants.

This tiny, quaint airport is located within minutes of Phalaborwa and the Kruger National Park. It offers effortless access to the safari of your dreams, or to make that important meeting in good time.

If you find yourself with time to spare, stay over in this welcoming town which has a range of both budget and upmarket accommodation available. The exclusive Hans Merensky Hotel and the Bushveld Terrace Guest House, both located close to the gates of the Kruger Park, will provide all the luxury you crave; while economically-minded travellers may prefer Elephant Walk Guesthouse or Beverly Hills Guest Lodge in town.
Phalaborwa is perfectly placed for exploring the wilderness beyond its boundaries. Take your Avis hire car for a scenic drive among the lush thornveld savannah, and through small towns like Gravellotte, Letsitele and Leydsdorp.

Close by, you can embark on a guided game drive in to the Kruger National Park. Once you have had your fill of the wild, play a round of golf at Hans Merensky Golf Course, visit the Masorini Village Museum or gawk at the massive Phalaborwa open cast mine. A refreshing drink at the Marula Lapa will while away your spare hours.

If you have loads of time to spare, you will find the following things to keep you busy within two hours of Phalaborwa:

• The Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre
• Balloon Safaris Hoedspruit
• Khamai Reptile Park
• Hans Merensky Nature Reserve
• Tzaneen Museum
• Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre
• Olifants River Boat Cruises
• Hans Merensky Golf Course
• Eiland Mineral Baths

Add to this a wide range of active adventures and private game reserves to explore and you are assured of an overflowing itinerary every time you visit this part of Limpopo.

Intrepid explorers beware – you will find yourself wanting more; and we will be happy to accommodate your needs on your next visit to Phalaborwa.
