Limpopo Lowveld (Explore)

Limpopo Province

South Africa

 

The Limpopo Lowveld extends southwards, east of the Drakensberg escarpment through Mpumalanga Province and ultimately into eastern Swaziland. This southern limb of the Lowveld is bounded by South Africa's border with Mozambique to the east, and the north-eastern part of the Drakensberg to the west.

 

The Lowveld is known for its high concentration of big game, while the slow-flowing streams and wetlands are a haven for the hippos and crocodiles. The bird life is also astoundingly abundant and varied. The Kruger National Park, for example, is located in the eastern Lowveld areas of Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces, along almost the entire border with Mozambique.
