Louis Trichardt (formerly Trichardtsdorp, and Makhado from 2003 to 2014), informally shortened to LTT (/lʊɪstriː/), is a town in Limpopo, South Africa.

Two groups of Trekkers reached the Soutpansberg mountain range in 1836, one under the leadership of Louis Tregardt (born near Oudtshoorn, South Africa, 10 August 1783[3][4]) and another under Hans van Rensburg.

Van Rensburg decided to lead his group to Sofala (near current Beira), Mozambique, but his entire party was killed en route.

After spending a year in the area, they decided to head for the fort at Delagoa Bay, a journey that took them 7 months to complete, during which more than half the group perished (including Tregardt himself).

The village's names include: (a) Ha-Sinthumule: (b) Ha-Kutama: According to the 2011 census, the population of Louis Trichardt consists of 25,360 people in 7,129 households.
