SOUTHERN AFRICAN PEACE PARKS

Greater Mapungubwe

Location & Maps

The proposed Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area is situated at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers, encompassing areas in three countries - Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The proposed TFCA will include the Botswana Northern Tuli Game Reserve; the Mapungubwe National Park, as well as various privately owned ranches in South Africa, and the Tuli Circle Safari Area, Sentinel Ranch, Nottingham Estate, Maramani Communal Land as well as the Machachuta, Masera and River Ranch Resettlement Areas in Zimbabwe. The inclusion of the various areas is however still under negotiation. The selection of the Limpopo/Shashe area is based on the rich biodiversity of the area, its scenic beauty and the cultural importance of the archaeological treasures of Mapungubwe. The area supports populations of big game, including the famous Tuli elephant, all major predators, and offers potential for the development of a viable, consumptive and non-consumptive tourism industry.
