“Take a shot’left”: Limpopo launches campaign for Tourism Month
Limpopo has been named the focus province for Tourism Month 2026, with the Sanparks Mahala Week also offering free entry from September 7 to 13.
PHALABORWA – As spring approaches, Limpopo is inviting travellers to discover its wildlife, landscapes, heritage, culture and warm hospitality as the province prepares for Tourism Month in September.
Spring launch at Masorini
Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet) MEC Dr Tshitereke Matibe, together with newly appointed Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA) chairperson Freddy Greaver, launched the Limpopo Spring Tourism Campaign at the Kruger National Park Masorini Archaeological Site in Phalaborwa on Friday, August 21.
The campaign aims to position Limpopo as a must-visit destination while encouraging residents and visitors to showcase the province’s attractions through digital platforms.
“This spring, take a shot’left. Discover Limpopo. Come and experience our wildlife. Come and explore our landscape,” said Matibe.
Limpopo takes centre stage in 2026
The MEC highlighted that Limpopo had been selected as the focus province for Tourism Month in 2026, describing the designation as an opportunity to place the province firmly on the national and international tourism map.
He called on residents to become ambassadors by photographing, filming and sharing the places, cultures, food and experiences that make Limpopo unique.
The campaign will be driven by the hashtags #WeAreLimpopo, #GoLimpopo, #MoreToExplore and #MoreToEnjoy, encouraging residents and visitors to share their experiences online.
Show the world your Limpopo pride
Greaver urged residents to identify places and experiences they love and share them with the world.
“We need to begin to demonstrate that we are proud of who we are and we want to celebrate everything that is Limpopo,” he said.
He also highlighted Limpopo’s readiness to welcome visitors attending major tourism events, including International Tourism Day and the Africa Tourism Leadership Forum.
The province is also set to benefit from the Sanparks Free Entry (Mahala) Week from September 7 to 13, with participating parks expected to be announced soon.
