Pietersburg is the capital city of the Northern Province. It was founded in 1886 and named after the well known military strategist Genl Piet Joubert.

Being 1312m above sea level, it probably has one of the finest climates in South Africa. The daily average temperature is 27 degrees centigrade during summer and 20 degrees centigrade in winter. Summer rainfall varies between 400 and 600 mm per annum. This lovely climate enable one to enjoy the outdoor life all year round.

Visiting hours are from 07:00 to 18:00. One should also visit the Pietersburg Bird Sanctuary which is 5km to the north of the city. Also on the agenda should be a visit to the Chuene Crocodile farm, The Moletzie Bird Sanctuary and the Pietersburg Bird and Reptile Park

You should also visit the Pietersburg Museum, the Hugh Exton Photographic museum with its more than 22 000 collection of glass negatives. A visit to the ethnic Northern Sotho open-air museum, Bakone Malapa, 8 km south of the city is also compulsory. Here, traditional lifestyles are still maintained and the visitor can experience the way of life of the indigenous North Sotho people.
