Tshipise, A Forever Resort
Our thoughts
Tshipise is the classic last night in South Africa before you cross at Beitbridge. After a long drive, there's nothing better than a soak in the warm mineral pool with the koppie and baobabs all around you. With powered stands and plenty of ablutions, it's an easy, comfortable stop.

Overview
Tshipise means "something warm", and that's exactly what you'll find here: a Forever Resort in Limpopo built around natural hot mineral springs, just a short drive from the Beitbridge border. The big Tshipise koppie looks out over the resort, and giant baobabs are scattered all around. The shady caravan park has about 370 stands, all with power, and seven ablution blocks. Add warm and cool mineral pools, a restaurant, shop, bar, laundry and even mini golf, and it's easy to see why so many travellers stop here on their way to or from Zimbabwe.

Have an evening soak in the warm mineral pool, then make an early start for Beitbridge to beat the border queues. During school holidays the resort fills up with families and long-stay campers, so book ahead and ask for a shady stand away from the road.
