South Africa has become, in recent years an increasingly popular
tourist destination. For many tourists the size and diversity of the
country is so huge that the whole is difficult to grasp.
The National Game Parks have long been a favourite tourist
destination. The formation of the The Great Limpopo Transfrontier
Park takes this to a new era. This is an ambitious, achievable and
sustainable project between the governments of Mozambique, South
Africa and Zimbabwe.
Tourism is one of South Africa's fastest-growing industries South Africa
was rated the best holiday destination in Africa in 2005 South Africa
caters for high-income travellers looking for "something unique". The
country's Shamwari Game Reserve was voted the World's best Safari
and Game Reserve 2006 The breathtaking beauty and exciting
activities that South Africa offers you, the international visitor, are as
boundless as the majestic skies.
The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) will link the Limpopo
National Park in Mozambique Kruger National Park in South Africa,
Gonarezhou National Park, Manjinji Pan Sanctuary and Malipati Safari
Area in Zimbabwe. Additionally two areas between Kruger and
Gonarezhou, namely the Sengwe communal land in Zimbabwe and the
Makuleke region in South Africa.
GLTP will initially cover some 40,000 square km rising to 100,000
square km. The famous Kruger National Park currently attracts 1.3
million visitors a year. It now has growing numbers of travellers
heading to it via Phalaborwa Gate in Limpopo province, and driving
across the park to Girriyondo Gate, a fairly recently opened border
post into Mozambique's Limpopo National Park. It is an 8 hour journey
along rough roads to get to the coast in Mozambique, but the scenery
is astounding and the journey certainly worth the effort. To travel
through 'the world's greatest animal kingdom' is the thrill of a lifetime.
The Transfrontier Concept and Objectives:
The first proposal was way back in 1938, by ecologist Gomes de
Sousa. (Doesn't that show how slow we are to progress!)
Designed for the protection of eco-systems across international
borders this showed wonderful vision, to encourage collaboration and
co-operation between Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
To develop trans-border eco-tourism bringing social and economic
development to the region.
To remove artificial barriers that impedes the natural movement of
animals. This enormous undertaking in re-establishing the ecosystem
of the area and demands the attention of the wider world as a lesson
in peaceful co-operation.
Visiting the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park will not only be
memorable but will aid the local inhabitants to develop this mighty
undertaking. Kruger National Park, among others, has a well
established tourist infrastructure. They are participants of this huge
undertaking. By visiting The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park you will
not only have the time of your life, you will be aiding a great
eco-sensitive and peaceful cause. You will help you build a
stepping-stone in the new African history.
South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe are to be congratulated for
their foresight and wisdom.
Visit South Africa for the time of your life.
