Dinokeng is rich in the diverse history, culture and fauna and flora of Africa. Best of all, it's just a stone's throw away to the north-east of Jo'burg and Tshwane, a gem of a tourist destination waiting for you.

The hospitality of the land is matched by the warmth of its people. The residents are passionate about Dinokeng's many treasures. Whether you are an outdoor adventurer, want to learn more about the culture and history of an area, or prefer a sedate getaway where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, you will find what you seek in Dinokeng.

The name Dinokeng - a place of rivers - is derived from the languages of the Batswana and Bapedi who traditionally made this region their home. Dinokeng lies in the catchment area of the Olifants and Limpopo Rivers - which means, according to some African cultures, that this is a sacred place with healing powers.

The Dinokeng destination, covering over 200 000 hectares offers you a variety of experiences, making a trip there interesting and worthwhile. It includes the Roodeplaat and Rust de Winter dam areas, as well as the towns of Cullinan, Rayton, Hammanskraal, Moloto and Refilwe. There are over 275 tourist attractions across Dinokeng, each with its own character and offerings. Whether you are there for the day, a weekend or longer, you will be able to have a full and exciting experience in Dinokeng, and you will leave wanting to return to sample new experiences or to re-sample those you have already enjoyed.

Why not discover something new? Why not discover something old? Why not discover Dinokeng?
