A historical connection near Machaneng

Stone walls dating from the Iron Age are located on Marakalalo Hill near Machaneng. They provide a specific historical point of interest in the area during your stay. If you would like to make the walls a fixed part of your itinerary, check locally before visiting whether access is possible.

In the wider destination of the Central District

A broader landscape and cultural area opens up here, beyond Machaneng itself: the Tswapong Hills Cultural Landscape lies in the Central District. It comprises a mountain range about 70 kilometres long and about 15 kilometres wide, rising around 400 metres above its surroundings. The proportions show an elongated shape: the range is nearly five times as long as it is wide; the roughly 400 metres indicate its elevation above the surrounding area.

Deep gorges have formed in the Tswapong Hills. Natural freshwater springs feed streams and seasonal rivers. The streams form waterfalls with deep, moss-lined pools; during heavier rainfall, waterfalls form and flow into lagoons. The regional landscape therefore includes both permanent landforms and seasonal waterways.

Moremi Gorge is located in the Tswapong Hills. It can be reached on foot via a steep ascent and is the source of three permanent waterfalls. The first two form large waterholes. The uppermost waterfall is ten metres high and plunges over rock ledges into a densely vegetated lagoon. Both the steep ascent and the different water features are therefore practical considerations when planning a visit to the gorge.

When considering the timing of a visit, it is worth noting the distinction: the rivers in the Tswapong Hills are seasonal, whereas the three waterfalls at Moremi Gorge are permanent. This distinguishes the hills’ seasonal waterways from the gorge’s permanent waterfalls.

At the northern end of the Tswapong Hills, Goo-Moremi Gorge lies beside Manonnye-Moremi Gorge. A report published in 2017 describes Goo-Moremi Gorge as a rock-climbing opportunity. If climbing is an important reason for your visit, check current access in advance.

Moremi Gorge is of great religious and spiritual significance to the local community. The Department of National Museums and Monuments declared it a National Monument. As a courtesy, visitors are advised to ask the local Headman for permission before entering the Tswapong Hills. Confirm this guidance locally before visiting.
