This Concession, nestled between the Limpopo and Luvuvhu rivers, is a serene junction where a multitude of habitats converge.
A vibrant patchwork of riverine forest, mountains, floodplains, and woodlands, it is home to nearly three-quarters of the Park's fauna and flora species.
Over 350 bird species, a variety of mammals including elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo, and a remarkable array of trees, including the centuries-old Baobab, call this place home.
The Makuleke Contract Park is a wildlife haven and a significant heritage site. It's the historical homeland of the Makuleke people, and it's still imbued with their cultural and spiritual legacy.
