South African provinces of Mpumalanga and Limpopo. In the north is Zimbabwe,
and to the east is Mozambique. It is now also part of the Great Limpopo

Welgevonden Private Game Reserve
Just over an hour from the metropolis of Johannesburg lies a privately owned game reserve in the heart of the Waterberg in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The Welgevonden Private Game Reserve has an area of 34 200 ha and first started as a conservation area in 1993 through a private sector initiative that resulted in the consolidation of numerous private farms.
The game viewing on the reserve is excellent and common sightings include elephant, white rhino, lion, zebra, giraffe and numerous species of antelope including kudu, waterbuck, impala, eland, gemsbok, wildebeest and klipspringer. Whilst not an everyday sighting, I have also been lucky enough to view leopard and cheetah on game drives with clients. With the recent re-introduction of buffalo and the introduction of hippo and roan antelope the variety of game on view is excellent.

Addo Elephant National Park
The Addo Elephant National Park is near the Zuurberg Range in the Sundays River region of the Eastern Cape. There are hundreds of elephants and has one of the densest African elephant populations on earth. These elephants are the remnants of the herds that once roamed the Eastern Cape and you'd be very unlucky not to see some. Some of its unique features already include:
* A huge natural diversity with five of South Africa's seven major vegetation zones (biomes).
* Elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard, whales and great white sharks - The Big 7!
* Rich heritage of archaeological and historical sites.
Be aware that the park closes if there has been heavy rain, as the dirt roads can become impassable, call ahead if in doubt.
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
The Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa was formed 1931 mainly to protect the migrating game, especially the gemsbok. Together with the adjacent Gemsbok National Park in Botswana, they are both known as the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. this park comprises an area of over 3,6 million hectares, covering an area about twice the size of Kruger and is one of very few conservation areas of this magnitude left in the world.
Mostly semi-desert, The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park amaizingly vaied and beautiful. The Red sand dunes, sparse vegetation and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob allow easy spotting of antelope and predator species oand thus provide excellent photographic opportunities. It also has large populations of birds, reptiles, rodents and small mammals. >> more
