Sketch map of Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park

Administratively, the park is split between Chicualacuala District (6,400 square kilometres (2,500 sq mi )), Massingir District (2,100 square kilometres (810 sq mi )), and Mabalane District (1,500 square kilometres (580 sq mi )).[1] Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park , a 35,000 km 2 peace park that links this park, 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.[2]
Wildlife

History
[ edit ]
With the help of R42 million donated by Germany the new park is being developed with fencing and anti-poaching units. The park is divided up into three separate zones of use: a tourist zone, a wilderness zone, and a resource utilization zone (hunting). In the south is the Massingir Dam and the town of Massingir in Massingir District , which is the administrative headquarters of the new park, while on the northern border is the Limpopo River .
In 2001 the translocation of a large number of animals from the Kruger National Park to new park had got underway. Work on the new Giriyondo Border Post between South Africa and Mozambique has started in March 2004.
Park headquarters and staff housing were built;
The first tourism facilities were opened in September 2005 and include the Machampane tented camp, Machampane wilderness trail, Shingwedzi 4×4 eco-trail, Aguia Pesqueira campsite, Massingir hiking trail and Campismo Albufeira
Phase two of tourism development in the park began in the early part of 2008. This entails developing concessions in the Boala and Madonse areas as well as a further concession at Massingir;
