Fishing near Polokwane, Limpopo

Polokwane sits in the Capricorn district of Limpopo, surrounded by bushveld rivers and within reach of several productive dams. The Sand and Diep rivers run close to the city, while larger waters — including the Olifants River and the Great Letaba system — lie further out. Nearby dams such as Glen Alpine Dam near Mokopane and Ebenezer Dam above Haenertsburg draw anglers after bass, kurper, carp, and barbel, and the broader Limpopo province is known for a wide mix of indigenous and introduced species across its rivers and reservoirs.
