Tourism

There are two nature reserves in the area namely, Maleboho nature reserve and Blouberg nature reserve. We have the German mission in Senwabarwana and Liepzig that are seen as heritage site and also the 1903 prison in the Blouberg Mountain. We also have the Lutheran church next to Helena Franz hospital which also reflects on the history of the people in the area.

As one adventures the Makgabeng mountain, you discover about the 400 stone sites which has the rock art paintings and Iron Age sites. These footprints are able to reflect on how people who were resided in the area lived.

There is an African ivory Route camp at Beauly on the foot of the Blouberg Mountain and a development of a hiking trail on the mountain that will ensure Blouberg is at the forefront of tourism development.

The geographical location of Blouberg between the Waterberg wetlands and the Dongola Trans-frontier Park, which encompasses the Mapungubwe area, is of great significance as the provincial Tourism directorate along the African Ivory route identifies this area. The Municipality is looking at achieving that in partnership with the following key interest groups:

• Limpopo Tourism and Parks Board,
• National Cultural History Museum,
• Blouberg Tourism Association,
• South African Heritage Resources Agency, &
• Trade and Investment Limpopo.
