What happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Mapungubwe National Park is the perfect place to introspect in peace. Your reverie will however be broken perhaps by the trumpeting of an elephant, a soaring eagle or the chirping of over 400 species of birds but none of that will be a damper. Read less

What happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Mapungubwe National Park is the perfect place to introspect in peace. Your reverie will however be broken perhaps by the trumpeting of an elephant, a soaring eagle or the chirping of over 400 species of birds but none of that will be a damper. Apart from being deeply entrenched in history right up to the Iron Age, this park is also home to Nile crocodiles and meerkats. The big five can be spotted occasionally and so can oryxes, zebras, hyenas, baboons and kudus. Baobab trees, woodlands and sandstone formations are a major part of the brilliant landscape that Mapungubwe has to offer and every sight is of extreme cultural importance. It really is the idyllic animal kingdom that a multitude of Hollywood titles have attempted to represent. You will invariably have a good time!
