Limpopo Tours & Trips
Think Limpopo is South Africa's forgotten province? The northern region offers Kruger's northern section that’s less crowded than the south, private reserves like Sabi Sands, Mapungubwe National Park, and Venda culture and sacred sites. You’ll see baobab trees, hot springs, maybe crossing into Zimbabwe for Victoria Falls. Limpopo's less developed for tourism than the Western Cape, but that’s partly its appeal.

What our customers ask about Limpopo Tours & Trips
What Makes Limpopo So Special for Safaris?
You'll find something really unique in Limpopo especially the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere it's incredible with these amazing sandstone formations and over 100 different mammals roaming around. The best part? It's completely malaria-free. What's really cool is that unlike the busy Kruger routes you'll get much more intimate wildlife viewing here with way fewer vehicles around each sighting. There's also this fascinating ancient city called Mapungubwe from way back in 1075 AD where they've found gold artifacts and evidence of Africa's earliest kingdom.
What Cultural Experiences Can You Join In?
Head over to Nyani Cultural Village near Phalaborwa Gate where local families actually invite you to join in with their Shangaan traditions. You'll get to try traditional dancing learn about beadwork and even join in some drumming. The food's amazing too try the mopani worms they prepare them with groundnuts and tomatoes and you've got to have some pap with chakalaka at the community lodges in Tshukudu Private Reserve.
Where Are The Best Natural Areas and How Do You Get There?
Beyond Kruger there's Tshukudu Private Reserve which you can reach with a quick 45-minute flight from OR Tambo to Hoedspruit Airport where the lodge will pick you up. The Entabeni Nature Conservancy is another great spot just 2.5 hours drive from Johannesburg and it's got this really unique mix of savannah and highland areas. Game drives happen twice daily at 5:30 AM and 4:00 PM that's when you'll see the most wildlife.
What's The Best Way to Get Around?
Getting around's pretty straightforward you've got these daily shuttles from O.R. Tambo to Hoedspruit they take about 6 hours and leave at 6:45 AM and noon with nice stops at Machado and Dullstroom. Airlink runs flights twice a day to Phalaborwa and Hoedspruit or if you're staying at a lodge they'll usually sort out transfers that include some game viewing on the way.
