INTRODUCTION

Karingani Game Reserve is a story of resilience, partnership,
restoration, community and collaboration. In keeping with the ancient
majesty of the landscape, a long-term approach to sustainable
conservation has been designed to preserve and protect the land
and its wildlife. The natural beauty of Karingani – an undulating
landscape defined by broad rivers, stands of mopane and rolling
savannah – has inspired visionary conservationists to create a new
model of sustainable partnership which recognises that Karingani’s
neighbours are key stakeholders in the future of this very special
corner of Africa.

Karingani Game Reserve (Karingani) is a private Game Reserve
situated in Southern Mozambique, in the heart of the Greater
Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area, an ambitious conservation
project that spans over 100,000 km of land in three countries,

Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Karingani is bordered
to the North by the Parques Nacionale Do Limpopo (PNL), to the
East by community land, to the South by the regions of the Greater
Libombos Conservancy and to the West by South Africa’s Kruger
National Park (KNP). In 2002, these two national parks, along with
Gonarezhou National Park and an area known as the Sengwe-Chipisi
Corridor in Zimbabwe were formally incorporated into a Transfrontier
Park in terms of a treaty signed between the three countries involved.
The treaty also declared a much larger area around the core Park
sector as being targeted for conservation-friendly development, thus
creating the 3,800,000 ha Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation
A proud African baobab (Adansonia digitata) along the Olifants River, Karingani Area. Extending over an area of 145,000 ha (360 000 acres),
November 2020 Karingani represents the largest privately owned tract of land within
the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) and
Mozambique. The scale and diversity of the protected area provides
a varied and unique experience which flows from season to season.
