Breakaway for a bit of culture and bush.
Until its demise at the end of the 13th century AD, Mapungubwe was the most important inland settlement in the sub-continent and extended over an area of about 30 000 sq kilometres on either side of Limpopo and Shashe Rivers.
The Mapungubwe National Park, a World Heritage Site, is positioned on the international borders of Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It is envisaged that the park will eventually form part of a trans-Frontier Conservation Area shared by the three countries.
It is the only geological defined cultural landscape in the region that includes a full set of successive stages in the early history of this process. Its nomination completes an historical triangle from Mapungubwe to Great Zimbabwe and Khami that continues to influence African society today.
Very good for game in the dry season, and for birds in the wet season.
Accommodation for 3 nights at Mapungubwe on a self catering basis.
