Alfresco bush brunch
We start the day at one of the best reinstated open-air museums in the country. Bakone Malapa is the archaeological site of a Northern Sotho village that stood here about 250 years ago.
A guide leads you through the homesteads, where ancient skills such as pottery, beadwork, beer brewing, maize grinding and fire making are demonstrated.
From the village we hike up the Bakone inselberg. At the top, panoramic views stretch out over Polokwane.
Next we cross the road into the Polokwane Game Reserve for a guided game drive. The morning ends with a true "Out of Africa" alfresco bush brunch, set out in a wilderness area, before we head back into Polokwane.
This tour works well for families, school groups, teams and conference delegates, and can be booked privately for your group.
