It is rich in tribal and colonial history, while offering variety in activities and sights. Remnants of bygone days are still visible today in towns like Delareyville. Lichtenburg (Town of Light) was stampeded by thousands of runners during the diamond rush of 1927.

Today the focus has shifted towards protecting and conserving the bounty that Mother Nature has bestowed on the Central Region.

Places like the Barberspan Bird Sanctuary has made the Central Region into a prime birding and fishing spot.

The reserve has about 2000 hectares under water and is a recognised leader in ornithological research. The Barberspan Bird Sanctuary has an extended breeding programme for antelopes and other mammals, for the stocking of reserves throughout the province.

Saltpans in the Delareyville area attracts thousands of flamingoes in summer, surely one of the most awe-inspiring attractions in the province.

Mafikeng means "Place among Rocks" and is also the name of the North West Province's capital.

At Wondergat near Mafikeng is a vast underwater network of caves which draws cave divers in their hordes.

A casino resort with health and beauty center, golf course and creche will make sure that everyone gets a well deserved break.
