Limpopo National Park, part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park with South Africa's Kruger and Zimbabwe's Gonarezhou, offers a unique wildlife experience. While it's a Big Five destination, sightings are rare due to dispersed and skittish animals and limited roads. Visitors may spot buffalo, zebra, impala, greater kudu, and steenbok, with elephants often heard but not seen. Overnight stays are enriched by the sounds of hyenas and lions. The park's landscape shifts from Lowveld plains to the Lebombo Mountains at the Kruger border, featuring the scenic Olifants River, which forms a vast 120km² body of water at the main entrance. Limpopo National Park serves as an interesting transit route between Mozambique and South Africa, with entry fees payable in meticals or South African rand. Despite its wildlife challenges, the park's natural beauty and tranquil settings offer a more intimate safari experience.

This side of the park cannot be compared to Kruger, it is still a relatively new park in comparison, the aria was only opened around 20 years ago. It is wild and mostly only accessible by 4x4 or a vehicle with high clearance. This is a true African experiance where communities still exist within the park, efforts have been made to relocate some of the villages to outlying arias and return the bush to natural habitat for game. It is an ongoing process to move the other settlements as well. I first visited this aria before it was a park and there was absolutely no animals as most had been poached and scared off. On our last visit it was amazing to see Buffalo, Elephants Giraffes and antelope back in the aria. Do not go to the park with the expectation of matching Kruger rather keep an open mind and be open to a different experience.

Really wild Park. I saw Syncerus caffer, Canis mesomelas, Aepyceros melampus, Phacochoerus africanus and Elephants. It's awesome in first morning hours. More animals near South Africa borderline. Enjoy.
