History of the Limpopo Province:

The Limpopo Region was home to the Pedi people, which are of great African decent. They formed the homelands in this province under the guidance of Chief Sekhukhane. They adapted the harsh terrain and landscape to suit their needs and requirements.

The invasion by Europeans into this region caused many bloody and historical battles. Limpopo Province hosts the ‘Long Tom’ statue which is a symbol of the battles fought in this region. The statue reflects many heroes and stories from the Anglo-Boer War.

Overtime the Voortrekkers and Missionaries brought western education with them which they used to help teach the indigenous people of this region. This is whole the area and the people of this region evolved.

The Limpopo Province is filled with many myths and legends, especially the well-renowned Rain Queen. It is believed that she is a princess that possesses magical rain powers which she used against her attackers. This magical power has earned the respect amongst tribes in the region and is a myth that is still believed.

Experience Limpopo and all of the myths and legends while taking a tour through the many historical memories of the past.
