"Named after the river that runs along its northeast border for 200km, the 10,000km2 Limpopo National Park forms part of a vast Transfrontier conservation area that also includes South Africa’s world-famous Kruger Park. Wildlife is similar to neighbouring Kruger (though scarcer and more skittish) and is is well-suited caters to active safarigoers, since it concentrates on guided walks, overnight trails and canoe trips rather than game drives. ”

PLAN MY JOURNEYLimpopo National Park
A former hunting concession that suffered from intensive poaching during the civil war, the Mozambican component of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTF) offers a range of adventure activities – overnight hikes, canoeing and 4×4 trails – that make it highly alluring to those looking for a participatory wilderness experience in Big Five terrain. It is less well-suited to conventional safaris, since wildlife densities are relatively low, and there are few internal roads. Most large mammals associated with the Kruger are present, including elephant, buffalo, leopard and lion, the one major exception being rhinos, but guides place less emphasis is less on the Big Five than on birds, small mammals, invertebrates and general ecological awareness.

Like the majority of Southern Africa Mozambique has distinct wet and dry seasons. With small regional variations aside, the wet season starts between October and November and lasts through to April or May. These rains are however not ‘Monsoon’ like, largely due to the significant rain shadow effect of Madagascar which essentially acts as a giant buffer. Rainfall amounts are therefore surprisingly small considering its location along the Indian Ocean. The dry season lasts from April or May all the way through to October or November, with clear skies dominating. The occasional shower is still possible during this time, just unlikely. The countries location so close to the equator as well as to the Indian Ocean makes temperatures relatively consistent throughout the year, with an average high of between 23°C/73°F and 82°C/82°F.
