Map of Mozambique Mozambique Map

For most international travelers, Maputo International Airport (MPM) is the entry point into Mozambique. It is about 3km/2mi from Maputo, the capital city.

Limpopo National Park is mainly a self-drive destination, and roads in the park typically require a 4x4 vehicle. You can hire a 4x4 in Maputo and drive to the park. The distance from Maputo to the main gate, near the small town of Massingir, is about 350km/220mi. The drive takes at least 6 hours*.

Limpopo NP can also be visited as an extension to a Kruger National Park tour or en route from Kruger to the Mozambican coast. There are two border posts between Kruger and Limpopo. The main border post is Giriyondo, about 40km/25mi from Kruger’s Letaba Rest Camp and 75km/45mi from Massingir. The second border post is Pafuri, in the far north of the park. It lies on a serious 4x4 vehicle route that is best done in convoy.

There are no flights to anywhere near the park.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
