Car Hire Musina - Mini guide to Musina

Set in the northernmost reaches of South Africa’s Limpopo Province, Musina is one of many South African cities to undergo a name change in the last decade. As a result some maps may use the former spelling, ‘Messina’. Located along the H1 motorway, Musina is best known for its situation in a large nature reserve.

The Musina Nature Reserve covers more than 9,000 acres and includes tens of thousands of towering baobab trees. The tallest exceed 80 feet and are popular with visitors. Other forms of flora here are of interest to botanists. With car rental in Musina, visitors can view onsite wildlife including wildebeests, giraffes and gazelles.

Despite the fact that visitors equate Musina with a large tract of protected forest, it still boasts a compact residential area with access to facilities.

There are lodges throughout the park, as well as a few hotels on Limpopo Avenue and Copper Street.
