Polokwane International - Limpopo cosmopolitan

Polokwane is about 300 km North of Pretoria on the N1. Beautiful highway all the way - BUT you pay a price. There are 4 toll gates before you reach Polokwane and the current rate for a standard vehicle is a total of just short of R125. The R101 is an alternative route that can be recommended, except for the first part through Hammanskraal. There are many taxis and 4-way stop streets, but from about Pienaarsrivier the R101 is a scenic route up to Polokwane.

Polokwane International airport is surrounded by a military a base. There are no scheduled international flights to Polokwane, but many private holiday makers use this as a port of entry to the many game lodges and hunting farms in Limpopo. Airlink provides daily scheduled domestic flights from various SA airports.

The airport gained its international status in 1996 and boasts modern terminal buildings. Facilities, that inlude restaurants are neat, clean and appears to be very effiient.
