Limpopo notes on roadside, recovery & transport
Breakdowns on the R40 near Hoedspruit or the R36 near Ohrigstad can leave visitors far from help, so having your insurer's roadside line saved is wise. Bush and farm tracks around Lephalale and Thabazimbi often need 4x4 recovery after summer rains. Car transport and lowbeds move vehicles and mining equipment between Polokwane, Steelpoort and Gauteng. Trailer hire is available in Polokwane and Tzaneen, but stock is smaller than in the cities.
Limpopo on the road
Limpopo is a long way from anywhere, and that shapes towing here. The N1 runs north from Bela-Bela through Mokopane, Polokwane and Makhado to Musina and the Beitbridge border, and it carries a steady stream of freight trucks heading into Africa. Long queues and breakdowns near the border are common. The R71 to Tzaneen and Phalaborwa, the R81 to Giyani and the R510 to Lephalale's coal and power station area link farms, mines and game lodges. Heat in the Lowveld, summer storms and mist on the Magoebaskloof Pass all affect drivers. Tourists towing caravans to the bushveld, farmers moving fruit and cattle, and mine fleets all need tows, recovery and trailers, often over long distances.
