Mapungubwe National Park is one of South Africa’s more scenically beautiful parks with terrain dominated by massive Baobab and Fever trees flanking the mighty Limpopo River. The park hosts leopard, lion, elephant, white rhino and fair numbers of general game. Birding in the area is excellent with over 240 species recorded on the reserve and over 400 in the region. There is a simple road network making it an ideal self-drive option but guided game drives and walks can be arranged with park rangers at the camps and gates. There are superb self-catering and camping facilities available in the park. From a cultural perspective, the area is an absolute gem and Mapunguwe is now a World Heritage Site due to its famous archaeological and San rock art sites. Professionally guided tours of these can be arranged.
