Opportunities galore for Phikwe revitalization

A number of tourism development initiatives exist in Selebi-Phikwe region most of which involve the community. The region is fairly rich with resources that can be exploited for tourism. These include scenery, wildlife and natural areas and existing dams.

Dikgatlhong and Letsibogo dams are ideal sites for tourism activities mainly centering around water sports and water recreational activities.
