Limpopo River

Overview

The life-sustaining Limpopo River flows along a 1000 mile course through South Africa and Mozambique and out into the Indian Ocean. For four months of the year, this powerful river continuously revitalizes the landscape nourishing the abundance of wildlife dependent on it. For the remaining seven months its waters are locked away in inaccessible underground aquifers leaving behind a series of small and ever-shrinking muddy pools. Excruciating heat and drought ravage the area until the next rains.
