Limpopo National Park

Limpopo National Park is a protected area in Gaza Province, Mozambique, designated to conserve the region of the Limpopo River basin within Mozambique. It is part of a larger transboundary conservation initiative linking protected areas across national borders.

The park offers extensive savannah and riverine habitats used for wildlife viewing and conservation of large mammals. Facilities and lodges are limited compared with neighboring parks in South Africa, so the area is often described as remote with a focus on wilderness experiences.

Limpopo National Park was established by the Mozambican government in the early 21st century and later incorporated into cross-border conservation efforts aimed at restoring migratory corridors. Since designation, management has emphasized wildlife recovery and anti-poaching activities.

The park sits in southern Mozambique’s Gaza Province along the Limpopo River corridor, bordering or lying adjacent to conservation areas in South Africa and Zimbabwe and forming part of the greater Limpopo landscape.

• Dry-season wildlife viewing: Best wildlife viewing is during the dry season when animals concentrate at water sources, typically May to October.
• Transfrontier connection: Forms part of the transfrontier conservation area that links protected areas across Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe, enabling large mammal movements.
