    I feel that this place can be upgraded to an even much better level with more activities, variety of restaurants and entertainment

    Although it is not Pretoria style Mall, Mall of the North caters to all needs. You really can get everything you need. Go early if you want a quiet experience. Go later if you love the hustle and bustle. Great Mall

    This was our first time in South Africa and we are very glad to have come here to learn more about the area's history! If you're interested in the history and the culture of South Africa, this is a must see. We were shown and told what the people here were crafting, how they started a fire, brewed beer and ground maize 200 - 300 years ago.

    Polokwane Game Reserve and campsite was an overnight stop for us. We arrived late afternoon and as the site was pretty empty, selected a good pitch near the ablutions. All our basic needs were met and our evening meal, which we cooked on the fire, was observed by three peahens and a somewhat uppity peacock. We helped ourselves to some firewood, only to be accosted by an irate lady the next morning, who claimed we had taken hers. We offered recompense and she graciously forgave us. There was lots of wood lying around, so it’s quite easy to start your fire without annoying the local population. In the morning my camp mates took a walk in the reserve, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Polokwane is a kind of unique little town, with it’s own reserve, not a lot of towns can boast that. A very handy place to stop!

    Small shop as you come in, good variety. Well kept and clean spaces. Lots of different animals to see. Friendly staff, well worth the visit . Just off the N1 , on the outskirts (Southern side) of Polokwane.

    Though the pools and everything were okay,they should create a pool for older people and increse the depth which we can dive in or swim freely.plus the service of workers there.ALL OF THEM dont know how to engage well with people,sometimes they dont reply to our questions or when they dont know hot to put words...I mean why would you just leave me on the sliding tube and not talk to me...and you also expect me to push myself down

    I cannot say much as the security guard would not let myself and my child in.
    My child wanted to see the stadium and we were like 100m away from just walking through the tunnel and view the stadium , but he refused to let us see.

    I am answering the below question based on my observation around the stadium.

    You have to go early if you want a good seat as well as proper parking because it is a bit small and traffic can become a nightmare.

    We had so much Fun, couples vs couples, battle of the sexes teens vs adults and many more.
    Little ones enjoyed some Laser Tag whilst the grown ups got to play some paintball and do some catching up.
    There are braai facilities and there is a little shop where refreshments can be bought.
    You can spend the entire day there if you are geared up for fun.
    Works out to roughly R150 per person (includes gun, helmet and overhaul and some bullets), you can also purchase additional bullets by the box.
    Will definitely visit again soon ;-)

    Friendly staff quick to rectify a trapped pin or ball. we were able to purchase reasonably priced socks for those wanting to not go barefoot. Overall this is what passes for entertainment in Polokwane.
