The newly launched Mapungubwe National Park borders on the Limpopo river and offers spectacular views of the river and South Africa's neighbours, Botswana and Zimbabwe, at the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers. It is situated 60 km west Musina and 230 km north west of Polokwane, the capital town of Limpopo Province. The park comprises the Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape and the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site. The Mapungubwe National Park covers an area that is well over 28 000 hectares. The name Mapungubwe means a place of the stone of wisdom.
