Overview
3About Namakgale
Namakgale ligs in the Limpopo lowveld, net 14 km suid van Phalaborwa, and started life as a company town for workers at Palabora Mining. Take the R71 in from Phalaborwa or Tzaneen, with Hendrik Van Eck Airport only 16 km away if you're flying in. Visitors often come from as far as Lephalale or Dullstroom, while locals do the shorter Duiwelskloof run. EV charging is scarce round here, so top up in Phalaborwa first. The old company town grid is still there to see if you drive through.
