The park is full of lots of Elephant as the fences between Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa are down. We were really spoiled with great sightings. As an additional bonus, the rich history making this a world heritage site is well worth the visit. The guided walk and tour was very informative.
You'll only get the bare minimum facilities. In fact, if you need something from a shop - the nearest is Alldays or Musina (50 - 60 km). This allows Mapungubwe to retain that mysterious, untouched atmosphere that makes this place so magical. Impressive sandstone hills abound, giant boabab trees grow in the most unexpected places and the melodies of unspoilt Africa emanate from all around you. Mapungubwe is my happy place.
Very interesting National Park. Stayed 4 nights, and it was sufficient time to explore this park. Need about 2 days to drive through this park. Park has 2 separate sections, and a day for each is OK. I prefer the Leokwe Camp above the Limpopo Tented Camp. The restaurant is about a 30min drive from Leokwe camp and basic. This was a very interesting park to see as it's a mix between Kalahari and Bushveld. The scenery is the attraction above game, except lots of elephant. The accommodation was fine for SANParks. During wet weather, you will need a proper 4x4 on many roads. During dry weather small passenger cars are driving on the main roads, but there are areas where you need diff-lock, as there is loose sand, etc. You can also do official 4x4 roads, but you will need a 4x4 on those roads and not just a high suspension 4x2 as you need to navigate rocks, mud and sand. A 4x2 with diff-lock is good enough in dry weather on most of the main roads, and some of the roads marked as 4x4. Ask reception for details. This was a very enjoyable and interesting experience as the scenery and experience is just different from Kruger.
It is a beautiful park with awesome geological formations and many large boabab trees.
There not an abundance of wildlife but you will see them occasionally.
A must visit and place for your bucket list - if you love wide open spaces and beautiful natural views.
