Limpopo Bushveld
This area is a land of dramatic contrasts
characterizes by hot savannah plains and
mist-clad mountains: age old indigenous forests
and cycads alongside later day plantations;
ancient mountain fortresses which have stood
guard over these plains. It's moreover a land of
legend and romance that will intrigue
present-day visitors with tales of ancient
tribes and fearless pioneers who braved the
unknown in days of old. To the day the province
is the home of the enigmatic rain queen who, as
the legends of her people proclaim, has the
mystical power to make rain.
The Limpopo bushveld has long been considered
one of South Africa's finest hunting areas with
an abundance of different safari species which
can be hunted in challenging terrain. The
terrain varies from savannah grassland to thick
riverine brush and hilly outcrops, that are
favored by species like the Kudu.
The area is in a summer rainfall region with
most rain occurring from October to March.
Rainfall is normally in the form of thunder
showers in the late afternoon which rarely last
more than two hours.
