About Modimolle

Modimolle, once Nylstroom, sits on the N1 in Limpopo's Waterberg, the main route linking Joburg and Pretoria to Polokwane. Gauteng travellers cover the roughly 150-180 km from Midrand or Isando for weekend bushveld trips, while Mookgophong and Naboomspruit, both under 50 km off, make for easy local runs. It's a solid stopover before heading further north to Vaalwater and the game reserves. About 2 public fast chargers are on hand for EV drivers. Fun fact, the name means place of the spirits, swapped in 2002 from Nylstroom, itself a Voortrekker mix-up over the Nile.
