Modimolle is an entry point to the world renowned Waterberg Biosphere Reserve from the north and South. The area boosts large tracts of land which are now operating as Game farms. There is Taxidermy in the Modimolle town. Two Provincial Nature Reserves, the Doorndrai dam nature reserve, the Nylsvlei (the only inland wetland with Ramsar status) (special interest) and the Marakele National nature reserve (National).

Mabatlane is an ideal place for Game auctions as it was demonstrated in the past years. The area is also a host to the Limpopo's international wildlife Expo. The Doorndraai and Donkerpoort dams offer an opportunity for family and recreation facilities (water sports).

Modimolle means "a place of spirits" named after a Modimollle Mountain visible from the N1. The Municipality is situated South-East of the Waterberg District Municipality.

It shares borders with Bela-Bela to the south, Mookgopong to the North, and Thabazimbi to south-West, Lephalale to the West and Mogalakwena to the North-west.

The Municipality is at the centre of the District Municipality and hence the administrative capital of the Waterberg District Municipality.
