Everything about Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park totally explained
Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park is a 35,000 km²
peace park that's in the process of being formed. It will link the
Limpopo National Park (formerly known as Coutada 16) in
Mozambique,
Kruger National Park in
South Africa,
Gonarezhou National Park,
Manjinji Pan Sanctuary and
Malipati Safari Area in
Zimbabwe, as well as the area between Kruger and Gonarezhou, the Sengwe communal land in Zimbabwe and the Makuleke region in South Africa.
The memorandum of understanding for the creation of the peace park was signed on
November 10 2000 as the
Gaza-Kruger-Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park. In
October 2001 the name was changed to the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. By the 5th World Parks Congress held in
Durban, South Africa in
2003 the treaty hadn't been ratified in Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Fences between the parks have started to come down allowing the animals to take up their old migratory routes that were blocked before due to political boundaries.
On the
October 4 2001 the first 40 (including 3 breeding herds) of a planned 1000 elephants were translocated from the over-populated Kruger National Park to the war-ravaged Limpopo National Park. It would take 2½ years to complete the translocation.
The new Giriyondo Border Post between South Africa and Mozambique has started in
March 2004.
There are new plans that should increase the size of the park to 99,800 km² (36,000 sq. mi.).

This park comprises a gamut of
wildlife including mammals such as
African elephant,
white rhino,
giraffe,
blue wildebeest,
African leopard,
