The Limpopo province of South Africa is an area of great and ancient mystique, and with its diversity in both landscape and attractions is a prefect way to experience a piece of quintessential Africa. Here you will find ancient baobabs, lush wooded mountain valleys and scorching bushveld - this is indeed a place of romance and intrigue.
Limpopo, named after the magnificent river that creates its northern border, lies adjacent to Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique and it is for this reason that it is steeped in culture and heritage. Here there are many archaeological sites that document early advanced civilisations, including the Mapangubwe World Heritage Site where gold figures dating back thousands of years have been discovered. This area is also home to the rain queen - the Modjadji who it is believed has the power to bring rain to the land of her people.
Tourists also find the attractions of the big game reserves - especially Kruger National Park - irresistible, and accommodation is easily found to suit all pockets. Outdoor activities like safaris and wilderness hikes are particularly popular in this part of the Limpopo province.
The area has four distinct tourist regions, and owing to the availability of good accommodation, these regions are always abuzz with tourist activity. Unknown to many, the Drakensberg begins its first swell in Limpopo, and this gorgeous region filled with water falls, woody slopes, hot mineral springs and serene mountain scenery is home to some of the country's finest guest houses. So let the variety and sheer beauty of Limpopo grab you and entice you to come for many more days of exploration and experience.
