Mapungubwe National Park Leokwe Camp
Mapungubwe National Park is the ideal location for anyone interested in the park's wildlife, birds and the extraordinary history of this World Heritage Site. Come and join these diverse pilgrims and share unforgetable moments sipping sundowners at the confluence of the legendary Limpopo and Shashe Rivers, watch the eagles soar over Botswana and Zimbabwe's skies, hear the echo of elephant trumpets, take a tree top walk or just relax and absorb the surroundings.
Mapungubwe is rich in biodiversity, great scenic beauty and cultural importance of the archaeological treasures. Visit Mapungubwe Hill, where a far developed African civilisation prospered between 1200 and 1270 AD. This is the place where archeologists excavated the famous golden rhino and other evidence of a wealthy African kingdom.
There is a variety of animal life including elephant, giraffe, white rhino, eland, gemsbok and numerous other antelope species occuring naturally in the area. Lucky visitors might spot predators like lions, leopards and hyenas. Birders can tick off 400 species, including kori bustard, tropical boubou and pel’s fishing owl.
