In the North East of the province, the Magaliesberg Mountain Range extends from Pretoria (in Gauteng) to Rustenburg. The Magaliesberg is not only beautiful to admire, but the many peaks and slopes offer numerous activities for the outdoor enthusiast from mountain biking to hiking.

The small city of Rustenburg is the closest settlement to the well-known Sun City Casino complex, which also comprises the novel Lost City hotel and Valley of the Waves water complex. Just down the road from Sun City (and Rustenburg) you’ll find one of the gems of the North West province – the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. This is a beautiful wilderness area boasting the Big 5 in its list of 66 large mammals. It is unique in that the whole nature reserve is set in a volcanic crater.

Another unique reserve in North West is the Madikwe Game Reserve. Madikwe, also a Big 5 reserve is tucked into a corner in the far North of the province, bordering Botswana. It is the only reserve in South Africa proclaimed solely for being the most appropriate and sustainable use of the land.

Other attractions making North West accommodation desirable include the Hartebeespoort Dam, a haven for water sport enthusiasts, and the Vredefort Dome, an ancient UNESCO World Heritage site where a giant meteor struck earth.

Mafikeng is the capital of the province, but Potchefstroom is also significant by North West standards for being home a large campus of North West University, and also for hosting the annual Aardklop Arts Festival.
