About Thabazimbi

Thabazimbi's your classic Waterberg mining town, about two hours from Pretoria via the N4 and R510. Locals pop through to Amandelbult and Northam for the platinum mines, while visitors travel in from as far as Tzaneen or Virginia. Charging stations are thin on the ground here, so plan ahead if you're driving electric. Fun fact, the name literally means mountain of iron, and the iron ore mine still runs right on the town's doorstep.
