WARMBAD (BELA-BELA HOME) PAGE

The town was originally named Warmbad but has now been renamed Bela Bela. This town in Limpopo, South Africa, derived the name Bela Bela from the Tswana language and can be loosely translated as 'boiling-boiling'. 

A natural hot water spring providing 22 000 liters per hour of therapeutic water at 53°C makes it obvious why the name of name Bela Bela arose, as it was named in the early 19th Century by the Tswana tribes that encountered this phenomenon. It was only in the 1870's that the then Transvaal Government decided to buy the land to build a resort and support the township in the area.

Today Warmbaths, or Bela Bela, is only a hour's drive away from Gauteng and a haven for tourists as it is a relief from city life.  It not only boasts an extensive Spa & Resort, but also a vast selection of Game Reserves and other holiday accommodation. This great tourist attraction is supported by the many B&B accommodation establishments, as well as self catering accommodation, guest houses and lodges. All this makes it a wonderful holiday destination in Limpopo.

Bela Bela, Limpopo also boasts the development of Internationally Acclaimed Signature Golf Courses by Gary Player & Ernie Els. If golf is not on the agenda other tourism activities include Hot Air Ballooning, gliding, hiking and the ever present Big Five, or "Big 5" as it is often called, at many of the game reserves.
