Characterised by bushveld and savannah plains the Central region became immortalised by the writing of the famous Herman Charles Bosman from the town of Groot Marico. The area is hot and from the surface seems quite arid, but deep springs help to support cattle and maize farming. Mafikeng is the province's capital and vibrant city, but it is the small towns of this area that give it its character. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy this area with game viewing, fishing and bird watching.
