The historic campsite of Takwasa is situated on the banks of the Vaal River in the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site, the world’s largest and oldest meteorite impact site. Only 38km from Potchefstroom and 200km from Johannesburg, it’s the ideal place for your camp, whether you’re 2 or a 160.

Takwasa is an excellent choice for youth camps, school groups, team building, leadership development, family gatherings, conferences, sports camps or any kind of camp or for any purpose, you can imagine.

Our flexibility let you compile your own package, starting off with accommodation, you can do your own thing, or add as many activities as you like and decide whether you want us to do the cooking or not. If you have a group larger than 160, no problem, contact us, and we’ll arrange with the neighbours for extra accommodation while your entire group can still eat and take part in Takwasa activities.

Donated by Mr and Mrs Dannhauser to the Dutch Reformed Churches of Potchefstroom in 1975, Takwasa, previously known as Venterskroon campground, gives people the opportunity to experience God and His creation in a unique way.

THE VENTERSKROON INFORMATION CENTRE

Following the discovery of gold in the Vredefort Dome, the mining town of Venterskroon was established in January 1887 and was named after Pieter Albert Venter who was the owner of the farms Buffelskloof and Rooderand in 1864. Streets like Wolmarans Street and Persson street were part of the town at the time. Infrastructure around Venterskroon dating back to 1889 includes the mine commissioner’s house and office, the Old Imperial Inn Hotel / Venterskroon Hotel and annex, the school master’s house and the school building of zinc, a stable, the police station with three jails and the “Handelshuis” or general dealer which also hosted the post office. The police station was moved to Buffelshoek and since 2006 this building has been used as an information centre and managed by the Department of Rural , Environmental and Agricultural Development in the North West Province.
