What do you know about the transboundary Great Limpopo Park?
Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasemi - The Limpopo Transboundary Park links a group of national parks in South Africa , Zimbabwe and Mozambique , known as the GLTP Park.
It includes the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, the Kruger National Park in South Africa, the Gonarezo National Park, the Mangenji Ban Reserve and the Malipati Safari Area in Zimbabwe, as well as the two Makuliki regions in South Africa between the Kruger and Gonarezo, and the Singwe Commons in Zimbabwe.
The total area of the cross-border park is currently estimated at 37,572 square kilometers, and it will bring together a number of the best and most ancient wildlife areas in the southern African region, and the park will be managed as an integrated unit across three international borders.
In the first phase of the GLTP park, it is planned to create the largest transboundary protected area, covering an area of nearly 100,000 square kilometres.
In the future, it will include the Banhin and Xenavi National Parks, as well as the Messinger and Korumana regions and their interlocking areas in Mozambique, as well as several private and state-owned reserves in South Africa and Zimbabwe, all overlooking the Great Transboundary Park.
The park is of great importance derived from the total importance of all reserves and areas within it. Artifacts from the Stone Age and iron tools provide evidence of a very long presence of man in the region.
It is a vast area of savanna extending on the eastern slopes of the Lebombo mountain range. Temperatures are mild during the winter and rarely fall below the freezing point, while daily temperatures average in the thirties during the summer.
The huge geographical area of the park is a valuable factor for managing all these wild areas in various forms of conservation and sustainable development of natural resources, as well as marketing tourism more widely as the greatest animal kingdom in the world, and the most wonderful places for safari trips .
