Limpopo National Park forms the Mozambican half of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park — the ambitious “peace park” that joins it with South Africa’s Kruger and Zimbabwe’s Gonarezhou into one of Africa’s largest conservation areas. With the fence to Kruger down, elephant and other game move freely across the border. Still developing, with simple camps and 4×4 access, it offers wild, low-key bush and a fascinating cross-border conservation story for the adventurous.
