Tshipise is a subtropical hot springs resort in the far north of Limpopo province near the Zimbabwean border, where siliceous geothermal water at around 54°C emerges from the ancient bedrock of the Soutpansberg mountains. The resort sits within the Tshipise Aventura nature reserve and combines thermal bathing with wildlife-watching in true Big Five bushveld territory. Its combination of hot springs, bush setting, and proximity to the Kruger Park and Mapungubwe areas makes it a uniquely South African wellness destination.
Insider tip — The 35°C siliceous waters of Tshipise are renowned for enhancing the skin and promoting healing.
