Home not only to part of Kruger, South Africa’s flagship national park, Limpopo's smaller private game reserves pack an incredible wildlife punch.
Limpopo is South Africa’s gateway province to Africa. Bordering Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, this northernmost province is known for the ultimate bushveld and wildlife experiences. From Magoeboeskloof to Polokwane, here are a few of the highlight experiences we love:- Big-Five spotting in iconic Kruger National Park.
- Magoebaskloof Outdoor Adventures allows you to explore a previously inaccessible upper level of indigenous forest and ancient landscapes.
- Day trip to the roaring Debengeni Falls, a magical spot for picnicking or swimming situated close to Magoebaskloof.
- The Ranch Conservancy, featuring over 25 antelope species and over 250 bird species, also makes a worthwhile road-trip experience.
