After the successful hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. South Africa and certainly the North West Province’s Host City, Rustenburg have beyond doubt proved their capabilities to the World! South Africa is no longer the best kept secret! Like all S A Host Cities, Rustenburg, neighbouring towns and villages rose to the occasion in delivering on FIFA set standards, as well as providing lifetime experiences to regular and first time visitors to the Continent, Province and Host City. The relevance of the RATA visitors guide in the context of hosting the World Cup the cannot be over-emphasised, given that visitors cannot be in a particular place overnight without accommodation, packaged with other tourism products in the vicinity or entire region.This website like the visitors guide, proudly brought to you by RATA, serves as a must have for all tourists and visitors alike. It provides information you would require while visiting or traversing the ever growing Rustenburg to any destination. As the North West Parks and Tourism Board, we pride ourselves with the 14 big and smaller parks and game reserves under our administration.
Closest to Rustenburg, is the Kgaswane Mountain Reserve which offers wonderful outdoor and adventure experiences in the Magaliesberg Mountains.
Our “Big 5” Pilanesberg National Park is also within manageable distance. The entire region offers assorted experiences for all living standard measures (LSMs). Tourists can spoil themselves to true African safaris, exquisite cuisine, superb health & beauty spas, hiking & walking trails and splendid night life to name a few. Being just a step away from Gauteng places Rustenburg in a prime position to showcase its diversity to an enormous market. South Africa’s World Cup slogan was “Feel it. It is here!” Although the World Cup has come and gone, we are saying, “The lifetime experience will never go way in the minds of all who graced our shores.” We believe repeat visits will happen sooner that we anticipate.
We Take Pride in Our Heritage! Come share our Heritage!
