Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site is the ideal location for anyone interested in wildlife and birds, to those in search of serenity, identity and the extraordinary history of this Park…

Discover an ancient African Kingdom, Southern Africa’s first, established at Mapungubwe Hill between 1200 and 1290 AD. Home to a powerful tribe that flourished on trading with Eastern cultures such as China and India, Mapungubwe saw the rise and fall of this great civilisation more than 700 years ago. This is the place where archaeologists excavated the famous golden rhino and other evidence of a wealthy African kingdom.

Beyond its historical significance, the park is home to elephants, leopards, and an abundance of birdlife, set against the stunning backdrop of riverine forests, towering cliffs, and the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. With scenic viewpoints, cultural heritage sites, and diverse ecosystems, Mapungubwe offers a unique blend of history, nature, and adventure waiting to be explored.
