Botswana - Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape (Trans-boundary Listing)

The Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape is situated in the physiographic region known as the lowveld in an ancient valley that includes the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers. These rivers drain an extensive area and form the international border between South Africa in the south, Botswana in the North West and Zimbabwe in the north east. The area described below forms the proposed transfrontier conservation area (TFCA) around the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers which includes South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The South African side will comprise a complex mosaic of private land, state-owned land and national parks which has since led to the creation of the Mapungubwe National Park. The potential area that Zimbabwe can commit to the proposed TFCA is the Tuli Circle Safari Area covering an area of 41 100ha.
