‘Limpokwena’ game reserve, about 50km west of Alldays, in the SA-Botswana border is one of those best kept secrets! We stayed over on the Island camp on the Limpopo which was partially in flood, the waters rising quite rapidly whilst we were there. In fact we had to leave earlier on Sunday to avoid being stranded! What a fantastic place... the Limpopo weaves it’s way between kopjes on either side of the banks, and just at that point, splits into 2 steams, creating this utopian island setting with large boerboon trees filled with amazing birds. We heard mainly the sound of the river, but in winter with lower water levels , elephant move regularly through the camp at night; lion, hyena and a host of owl species can be heard calling..
Camp is fully equipped: Eskom power, electric fridge, dining room/ kitchen, permanent tents with bedding and fans. There are 2 communal bathrooms, electric geyser. You only need food, clothing and toiletries. Best of all ABSOLUTE exclusivity, with now crowds or any mechanical sounds.. it doesn’t get better than this for R350 pp p night!
