Makuleke, Protected area in Limpopo, South Africa
The Makuleke concession spans 24,000 hectares between the Luvuvhu and Limpopo Rivers, featuring tropical woodland, mountainous bushveld, and extensive floodplains.
Archaeological excavations in Makuleke uncovered Stone Age tools dating back 1.5 million years, indicating extensive early human settlement in this region.
The Makuleke community established a groundbreaking partnership with South African authorities in 1998, developing sustainable tourism while preserving their ancestral lands.
Visitors can access guided wildlife tours and accommodation at The Outpost lodge, which provides twelve luxury units overlooking the Luvuvhu River valley.
The northeastern section receives only 200mm annual rainfall, creating the driest region in Kruger National Park with specialized bird species adaptations.
