West of the Mogol River in the distinctive bushveld landscape of the foothill of the Waterberg Range lies the tranquil town of Lephalale. Laid out on the farm Waterkloof in 1960, the town is well-known for its coal mining industry and for Matimba, the largest dry-cooled power station.

The mild winter months, with moderate summer evenings, make this popular venue for camping and stargazing. Spectacular sunsets, soothing nocturnal sounds, birdsongs and abundant game amidst the natural beauty of the Bushveld eill ensure a pleasant visit.
