More info about Tshatshingo Potholes
Situated in the Vhembe district of the Limpopo Province, the Tshatshingo Potholes were formed by swirling water from the Mutale River falling into a fissure to create perfectly rounded rock circles. Water enters the largest of these potholes and continues on its course below the ground to emerge at a rock pool further downstream.

Hearing the locals tell stories of the legends surrounding the place is sure to enrich the experience of a visit to the potholes.
