Mapungubwe National Park

Mapungubwe

A SANParks-managed World Heritage landscape.

The park protects an important cultural landscape near the Limpopo–Shashe confluence.

The Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site associated with the Kingdom of Mapungubwe, which flourished between about AD 900 and 1300. SANParks manages the national park.

Main gate: about 20–25 km · allow about 30 min

Getting to the main gate

SANParks publishes the entrance gate at approximately S22°14′37″ E29°24′02″. From the Kudu Rest Camp pin, the main gate is roughly 20–25 km by road; allow about 30 minutes in normal conditions and check live navigation before departure.

Allow time inside the park

The entrance is not the same as the main visitor sites. SANParks states that Leokwe Camp is 11 km from the main gate and the Limpopo Forest area is around 40 km from it. A visit to the museum, heritage site, treetop route or confluence therefore needs additional internal driving time.

Check current SANParks information

Gate times, conservation fees, tour schedules, road access and facility availability can change. Check the official SANParks Mapungubwe page shortly before travelling rather than relying on a static price or timetable here.
