This week I’m in Limpopo Province. It’s a wonderful province with many great adventures to be had. In Polokwane you can walk with lions, have a drink in a Baobab Tree in Tzaneen and go on a golf cart safari (if you can convince the groundskeepers) at the Hans Merensky Hotel & Spa in Phalaborwa.
Phalaborwa also has the best airport in the world, in my opinion. On my last trip to South Africa in October 2009 I flew into this teeny tiny airport. The Phalaborwa Airport (PHW), is absolutely cute. From the moment you arrive you just want to go up to it an squeeze it’s cheeks and give it a big ‘ole hug.
It’s located in the Northern part of the country, next to Kruger National Park. It’s your quintessential African airport, complete with 1 runway, small jets, thatched roofs and being near to the African Bush.
The Phalaborwa Airport has easily become my favorite airport in the world. Check out this YouTube video to see why.
The Phalaborwa Airport is yet another reminder as to why South Africa is simply magic.

Hey Ben. I’ve not had the opportunity to fly out of or into or layover in PHW. I’ve not been to Africa yet but hope to get there one day!

You must save enough for 2 trips, because after the first, you’ll want to return again and again and again!
I believe there should be a rule: you can only call an airport your favorite if you can spell it & know its airport code. Ben, my friend, you have accomplished this, along with picking a REALLY adorable place for yours! I LOVE the places you find!
Mine? Well, I don’t fly anymore (bad ears) so I’ll go with the one in my favorite foreign (to me) country: England. Heathrow; LHR.
