Limpopo Province —
Limpopo, the northernmost province of South Africa, is a huge and diverse province characterised by traditional cultures, vast open spaces and terrific wildlife watching.
In addition to the well-known Kruger National Park, with over 2 million hectares inhabited by rhinos, lions, buffalo, giraffes, and leopards to name but a few, there are plenty of smaller private game reserves dotted around the province. Where better to see the Big 5 than in their natural habitat with backdrops of gushing waterfalls, vast plains and spectacular sunsets?
History lovers will no doubt enjoy the country's most significant Iron Age site in Mapungubwe National Park, while the Ribolla Cultural Route offers tourists the chance to see local contemporary art produced by craftsmen in the area.
Limpopo has centuries-old traditions steeped in magic and mystery, with tales of a great white crocodile, a giant python and a village of cursed people at the bottom of a lake. Visit Lake Fundudzi and Thathe Vondo Forest to hear such stories with a guided tour.
