Maftown
Mahikeng (still commonly known as Mafikeng), the capital of the North West Province, is situated some 260 kilometres west of Johannesburg and colloquially referred to as “Maftown”.
Nature lovers may well enjoy a visit to Mafikeng Game Reserve, where you will find a fair number of buffalo, white rhino, giraffe and gemsbok.
Lovers of the fast life may consider a visit to Phoenix Race Track at Rooigrond, ten minutes from the central business district. Equally popular with local youth is the adjacent go-karting and paintball offerings.
You are sure to experience a barbeque, referred to as a braaivleis. At Mmabatho you will find Leopard Park Golf Course and a casino.
