The province THAT HAS IT ALL

North West is a gateway to the SADC countries. It is also popularly known as the Platinum Province because of its mineral wealth, while offering exciting wildlife and adventure encounters, as well as the opportunity to participate in a rich cultural and historical heritage.

It is a home to the Big Five and prides itself on 16 nature reserves, including Pilanesberg National Park, Madikwe Nature Reserve, Kgaswane Mountain Reserve and Bloemhof Dam Nature Reserve, to mention just a few. Madikwe is a prime wildlife reserve and safari destination with a choice of excellent luxury accommodation and conference venues. It is one of the largest game reserves in South Africa and hosts an incredible diversity of species, offering some of the best South African safaris.

Two of South Africa’s Unesco World Heritage Sites are located in the North West province: the Taung Skull Fossil Site, where the Taung skull was found in 1924, and the Vredefort Dome, which is the oldest meteorite impact structure on earth and estimated to date back over 2 million years.

Mice Options

North West has a range of accommodation and conference facilities ranging from local to international standard. Sun City Resort offers an exceptional variety of banqueting and conference venues combined with accommodation and entertainment for large numbers of delegates. Clients have many boardrooms, breakaway rooms and state-ofthe-art venues to choose from, including the

While we hold nothing back in terms of being up to speed with world standards in professionalism when running our conventions and conferences, we always add an African flavour to what we do, making for unique and memorable experiences – for example, drumming workshops to introducing delegates to the funky sounds of township kwaito.

The North West province not only has cutting-edge facilities and superb infrastructure, it is a ‘can-do’ destination where delegates will be inspired as they find new ways of thinking and doing.

The natural beauty of North West is certainly an added attribute to choosing our province for your congress or convention. The province really has it all – mountains, beautiful scenery, parks and the bushveld.
