The settlement area lies 823.8 m above sea level<ref name="thesis" /> and the province is bordered by [[Botswana]] to the west and [[Zimbabwe]] to the north.

The tradition of [[bloomery]] iron smelting in this region extends back to the [[Early Iron Age]] (AD 200-900) <ref name="venda_iron" />. This long tradition is reflected in the numerous remnants of this practice that dot the landscape. The mountains of Tshimbupfe, to which Venda people would travel from the surrounding lowlands for iron ore<ref name="friede">{{cite journal |last1=Friede |first1=H.M. |title=Iron Age mining in the Transvaal |journal=Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy |date=April 1980 |volume=80 |issue=4 |pages=156-165 |url=https://www.saimm.co.za/Journal/v080n04p156.pdf |access-date=27 January 2021 |publisher=Sabinet}}</ref>, are lined with shallow trenches from pre-European mining that remained visible until the 1990's<ref name="killick" />. The mining and transportation of this ore was documented in the late 1800's by E.D. Gieseke, the wife of a missionary based in the region<ref name="venda_iron" />. |

The iron smelteries used in this region were clay cylinders measuring approximately one meter in diameter and height built into the ground. Each smelter had three vertical slits at even intervals around its circumference, into which [[tuyères]] were inserted to facilitate airflow. These furnaces were reused to produce additional blooms, and the vertical slits may have allowed each bloom to be removed from the smelter without destroying it. Schuynshoogte, a farm to the north of Tshimbupfe village, was the location of an iron production center with a smelter that remained in good condition until being vandalized in the 1990's<ref name="killick" /><ref name="venda_iron" />. |
