This town of about 12,000 people has two summers and sits on top of a volcano that went out two billion years ago. The explosion brought a wide variety of minerals to the surface, including copper, which was mined here by a people who came from Zimbabwe twelve hundred years ago. Phalaborwa was born in 1957 and expanded greatly at the turn of the century, when the whites took over and developed the operations to an industrial level. Today, one mine still extracts 80,000 t of copper annually. It is also a good stopover for visiting the Kruger Park, which is only 4 km east of the town. Letaba is the nearest camp.
