Per-payment figures are the all-in total divided by 3 and rounded. The number of payments and the schedule differ by partner — Happy Pay splits over 2 — and your own plan depends on that partner's approval. You see it in full before you confirm. Fares are the lowest seen for a sample date about six weeks out, not a quote; airline pricing moves constantly.
Best time to fly
Weather, crowds and fares move together in Polokwane. These are the trade-offs.
April to August
Dry and mild — the most comfortable months, and good bushveld game viewing.
September to October
Hot and dry before the rains break.
November to March
Summer rain, hot and humid, with green landscapes and afternoon storms.
Before you go
Domestic flight
No passport or visa needed within South Africa, but you will still need a valid photo ID to board.
Currency
South African rand (ZAR). Cards are accepted almost everywhere.
Summer heat
Limpopo gets genuinely hot from October to March. Plan outdoor activity for early morning or late afternoon.
Malaria
Parts of northern and eastern Limpopo carry malaria risk, particularly in summer. Polokwane itself is generally considered low risk, but check for your specific destination and take medical advice.
About Polokwane
Polokwane is Limpopo's capital and the province's commercial centre, sitting on the N1 about halfway between Johannesburg and the Zimbabwean border.
Most air traffic here is business or family travel, though it is also a workable entry point for the northern Kruger and the Waterberg's malaria-free reserves to the west.
Getting in from the airport
Polokwane International (PTG) is about 5 km from the city, under ten minutes by road. Car hire is available at the terminal and is the practical option for reaching the Waterberg or the northern Kruger.
