This study investigates the accessibility for disabled, and in particular wheel-chair bound people in the parks and reserves of the Limpopo Province. The research was carried out by developing a model with a set criteria against which tourism venues could be tested. Values ranging from 3 for full accessibility to 0 for total inaccessibility were allocated and used to evaluate the parks and reserves in the study area. An average value was calculated for each venue. These averages were finally tested against the accessibility index to determine the extent to which the park or reserve is accessible to people with disabilities.
