Limpopo is very well known for its safaris and, more particularly, that of the Kruger National Park. It is home to many animals, including the famous "Big Five", namely elephants, lions, leopards, buffalos and rhinos. In addition, the park has more than 140 species of mammals, more than 500 species of birds, and a hundred species of reptiles. Marakele is a good option if some are motivated to explore another national park. This majestic site transitions between the dry, western and wetter regions of eastern South Africa. Birdwatchers will be delighted to find an impressive number of birds and even be able to observe the Cape vultures.
For those who want to take in the sights of Limpopo's archaeological remains, there is nothing better than Mapungubwe Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site allows travelers to discover spectacular rock formations, go hiking, and do mountain biking safaris.
For walking enthusiasts, they will love the Thathe Vondo forest. They will find forest trails that allow them to go on guided adventures in their hearts. They will immerse themselves in a green setting accompanied by the song of birds. They may come across the white-starred blackbird, the chorister's robin-cat or the Knysna turaco with some luck. In addition, during the walk, explorers will have the opportunity to pass by the mythical Lake Fundudzi. For the more adventurous, it is possible to go to the top of the Soutpansberg mountains from the lake. This brief trip will have merit because the majestic Mahovhovho waterfall accompanies this enchanting setting in an exceptional way.
For the cultural sector to be noticed, the village museum of Bakone Malapa is the right spot. It is close to the capital, and tourists will have the chance to experience the culture and way of life of the "Bakone," an Indigenous people of the province. They will also see several traditional dwellings and exhibitions on the history of North Sotho, which will broaden their knowledge of Limpopo. ◄
