The African Ivory Route of the Limpopo Province of South Africa is for the person drawn to the African wild and its wildernesses.
It is a world of breathtaking scenery and endless vistas of African bush where to this day large herds of elephants and other big game roam.
Wild and untamed, it is part of the more than 3,6 million hectares of national provincial parks, private nature reserves and game farms
stretching across Limpopo Province. The route extends over more than 1000 km in a giant arc through remote scenic wilderness areas and game
reserves along the eastern, northern and western boundaries of the province.
Extremely rugged in places, the route skirts or traverses four major mountain ranges: the Strydpoortberge in the south, the Waterberg in
the northwest, and the Drakensberg and Lebombos in the east. The African Ivory Route has its origins in the legendary exploits of early ivory
hunters and gold traders and is today an important ecotourism and 4X4 adventure destination popular with safari enthusiasts. Roads are rudimentary,
but not all require off-road vehicles.
