The location of each Transfrontier property is what makes it so special. Enclosed by the Limpopo and Olifants rivers, the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park lies on the plateau of the Lebombo Mountains providing this unfamiliar park with a sense of tranquillity. The Kgalagadi’s crimson sand dunes stretch for miles under herds of antelope and the black-mane lion rests under the giant camel thorn trees, providing a sensational backdrop for those visiting this National Park. Our special relationship with the local, indigenous communities makes these properties excellent options to combine with some of the popular big game wildlife safari experiences to be had in South Africa.
