ABOUT THE AFRICAN IVORY ROUTE

The African Ivory Route in the Limpopo Province has its origins in the legendary exploits of early ivory hunters and gold traders.

Thus the African Ivory Route was established with the adventure traveller in mind. A selection of unique and off the beaten track destinations were therefore a more important consideration than ease of access.

The African Ivory Route covers vast expanses of natural bush and mountain ranges with breath-taking scenery, abundant wildlife and cultural richness.

It is an ideal destination for the safari, adventure and cultural enthusiast.
