Limpopo

Limpopo offers a gateway into the Kruger National Park - not to mention loads of private game farms and beautiful natural locations. Its tropical vegetation and abundance of locally grown fruit and vegetables also make it a cheap area to travel in. The name of the province has been changed to Limpopo, and some town names have changed. You should still see the old and new names together for a while longer though.

Limpopo a perfect access into the Kruger Park

Recently renamed after the river that forms its northern border, the Limpopo Province’s diverse landscape includes mountains and savannah. The Drakensberg and Waterberg (a major conservation area) lie to the south, while to the north lie the Soutpansberg and 3 entrances into the Kruger National Park.
The province is home to the headquarters of the Zion Christian Church, and every Easter over three million members gather at Zion City to celebrate Christ’s resurrection.
In a more ancient tradition, the Rain Queen Modjadji rules in the misty mountains where the Modjaji cycad, a living fossil, still grows.

 

Kipling's Limpopo
 “Go to the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, and find out.”
From The Elephant’s Child by Rudyard Kipling
