Tom Burke
Tom Burke is a very small bushveld settlement at the junction of the N11 and R572 in the far west of Limpopo, near the Botswana border (Groblersbrug/Martin's Drift border post) and north-east of Lephalale. Apart from a police station and a small shop it has few services; the land around it is mostly game farms and safari lodges, known for baobabs, birding and the Limpopo River.
History
No reliable published history of the settlement was found during this research.
