Bela-Bela : Michelin's recommendations

Limpopo province decided to Africanise the names of its towns. Thus Warmbath, at the foot of the Waterberg, was rechristened Bela Bela, or “boiling place”, a name used by the Sotho tribes in reference to the hot springs that have made this a spa since the 19C. Many visitors come every year to find relief from their rheumatism or just splash around in the 32°C pools. The nearby N1 motorway connecting Pretoria and Zimbabwe is one of the country’s most travelled roads.
