The Marota Heritage Tourism Route is one of the cultural heritage sites attracting thousands of tourists within Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM). The route was named in honour of Marota, the ruling elite of Bapedi nation, King Sekhukhune I, who belonged to the unbroken lineage of Marota Warrior Kings.

Marota adopted the totem ‘Babina Noko’, in veneration of the porcupine as their spiritual animal for its resilience.

Hence Marota praise themselves as ‘Marota a Mahubedu’, meaning the blood-soaked regal red warriors.

Marota Heritage Tourism Route embodies the timeless rich heritage. This route traverses historic epochs and landmarks situated across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, linking the Steve Tshwete in Nkangala District and Thaba Chweu in eNhlanzeni District of Mpumalanga as well as Fetakgomo Tubatse, Makhuduthamaga, Lepelle Nkumpi and Polokwane local municipalities of Limpopo. 

Marota Heritage Route affords tourists the opportunity to experience the cultural heritage of the fascinating Sekhukhune area, reflecting the diverse cultures of the present-day inhabitants of the area, intrepid adventures from a colourful past and ancient civilization of which only archaeological evidence remains.

There are so many exiting and awe-inspiring cultural attractions and heritage sites in Sekhukhune land, and combined with the natural beauty and mountainous landscape of the area, the Marota Route is the perfect route for any tourist seeking a magnificent array of tourism products in one tourist destination. Every corner of Sekhukhune land has an amazing tale that connect to the friendships brokered by Warrior Kings on whose footsteps King Sekhukhune I gallantly walked.
