Mapungubwe Landscape.
Mapungubwe National Park, previously known as Vhembe-Dongola, was declared a World Heritage Site in July 2003. Mapungubwe protects a corridor of mopane veld adjacent to the Limpopo River bordering Botswana and Zimbabwe. With its outstanding botanical, ecological, geological and geomorphological merit, it is envisaged that the park will eventually form part of the proposed Limpopo/Shashe Transfrontier Conservation Area, which will incorporate the Tuli Circle in Zimbabwe and the Mashatu Reserve in Botswana.
The terrain south of the Limpopo River is flat with sandstone and conglomerate ridges and koppies. Closer to the Limpopo River, the flat landscape changes into rugged mountainous terrain.
