The Soutpansberg is a range of mountains in far northern South Africa. The mountain range stretches 130 kilometres from the little town of Vivo in the West to the world-renowned Kruger National Park in the East. The range forms part of the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, which is famous for being designated by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve in 2009. The landscape of Soutpansberg is truly one-of-a-kind, with scenic mountain views, vast expanses of indigenous bush in a land characterised by dense myth at sunrise and sunset. In this mountain range you will find the legendary baobab trees which can reach heights of 5 to 30 metres and have a trunk diameter of 7 to 11 metres, a real natural wonder. Within the park is the Mapungubwe and Makapane Valley which are both national heritage sites. These sites are characterised by frequent sightings of lion, leopard, white and black rhino, elephant, cheetah and spotted hyena amongst others. There is a rich diversity of plant and animal species and a paradise for bird watchers.
