Limpopo Tours & Trips
Think Limpopo is South Africa's forgotten province? The northern region offers Kruger's northern section that’s less crowded than the south, private reserves like Sabi Sands, Mapungubwe National Park, and Venda culture and sacred sites. You’ll see baobab trees, hot springs, maybe crossing into Zimbabwe for Victoria Falls. Limpopo's less developed for tourism than the Western Cape, but that’s partly its appeal.

Started our trip with confusion whether to stay in a tent or hut, contacted the agency and got prompt answer. My advice to the agency is to mention in itinerary the type of accommodation clearly. Well, we had a wonderful 3D/2N Stay in Kruger National Park- Petriuskop. Very friendly staff, great service, amazing breakfast and dinner and well arranged trips. Had 2 game drives, one morning for 4 hours with Kurt Safaris, and other Sunset Drive with Outlook Safaris. Both were perfect. We were able to spot all Big 5. Had a 5 hours Panorama Trip which was the best. We enjoyed a lot with our tour, staff and service. I will rate my review as EXCELLENT, regardless the accommodation conflict. Thank you Bamba Experience especially Anuj who was me by e mails every now and then.

This 3-day safari was absolutely incredible! We spotted all of the Big 5, and the game drives were well-paced and exciting. The guide was super knowledgeable and really passionate about wildlife. The lodge was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Africa Moja took care of every detail — all we had to do was relax and enjoy. Highly recommended!

What our customers ask about Limpopo Tours & Trips
What Makes Limpopo So Special for Safaris?
You'll find something really unique in Limpopo especially the UNESCO Waterberg Biosphere it's incredible with these amazing sandstone formations and over 100 different mammals roaming around. The best part? It's completely malaria-free. What's really cool is that unlike the busy Kruger routes you'll get much more intimate wildlife viewing here with way fewer vehicles around each sighting. There's also this fascinating ancient city called Mapungubwe from way back in 1075 AD where they've found gold artifacts and evidence of Africa's earliest kingdom.
What Cultural Experiences Can You Join In?
Head over to Nyani Cultural Village near Phalaborwa Gate where local families actually invite you to join in with their Shangaan traditions. You'll get to try traditional dancing learn about beadwork and even join in some drumming. The food's amazing too try the mopani worms they prepare them with groundnuts and tomatoes and you've got to have some pap with chakalaka at the community lodges in Tshukudu Private Reserve.
Where Are The Best Natural Areas and How Do You Get There?
Beyond Kruger there's Tshukudu Private Reserve which you can reach with a quick 45-minute flight from OR Tambo to Hoedspruit Airport where the lodge will pick you up. The Entabeni Nature Conservancy is another great spot just 2.5 hours drive from Johannesburg and it's got this really unique mix of savannah and highland areas. Game drives happen twice daily at 5:30 AM and 4:00 PM that's when you'll see the most wildlife.
What's The Best Way to Get Around?
Getting around's pretty straightforward you've got these daily shuttles from O.R. Tambo to Hoedspruit they take about 6 hours and leave at 6:45 AM and noon with nice stops at Machado and Dullstroom. Airlink runs flights twice a day to Phalaborwa and Hoedspruit or if you're staying at a lodge they'll usually sort out transfers that include some game viewing on the way.
