Meropa Casino

Situated in Polokwane, Limpopo, is Meropa Casino – the heartbeat of the North. You’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve travelled too far north as its colours, grand design and geometric patterns are all reminiscent of a castle in Morocco.

Never fear, you don’t need your passport here – but you might want to pack the sunblock as Meropa is the perfect holiday destination if you want to soak up the sun while enjoying the many game farms in the area. Don’t forget to stop in at Jembe Tavern over the weekend, where you can enjoy African Entertainment and flavourful cuisine.

If you want some time to yourself, pop into the Mangwanani Spa for some pampering. Or spend some time on the casino floor, where there’s something for everyone. With a total of 374 different slot machines in the smoking and non-smoking sections, you’ve got a wide selection to entertain you.

While you’re in the area…
Make sure you check out the Peter Mokaba Stadium, which was inspired in design by the baobab tree. Either take a tour of this magnificent structure or catch a game there. Then, for some history, visit the Eersteling Monument, the site where gold was first mined in South Africa back in the 1800’s. The monument bears testament to early mining in South Africa.
