Limpopo is South Africa's most northerly province. It is named after the river which forms the border between South Africa on the one side and Zimbabwe and Botswana on the other. A large part of the Kruger National Park is located in the province and it can rightfully lay claim to being an area of the world which is home to one of the greatest diversity's of mammal species. They range in size from Brant's Climbing Mouse which weighs no more than a few grams to the mighty African Elephant where the male can weigh up to seven thousand kilograms. In addition to the diversity in mammal species the area is blessed with a rich bird life with many of South Africa's most colorful birds found in the area.
 

Rainfall increases from East to West and the low lying areas of the province are characterized by wooded savannah with the Northern Drakensberg rising to form the divide between the Limpopo Bushveld and the Lowveld. Malaria is endemic to the Lowveld, a physician should be consulted concerning precautions which are advisable, and insect repellent is a must during the summer months. Rainfall occurs mainly in summer and would typically be late afternoon thunder showers which are fierce but short in duration, with lightning that creates a most spectacular display. The area is best visited between April and September. Winters are mild and in the author's opinion the combination of warm days and chilly evenings make it the best time of year to hunt in the area.
