Machampane Wilderness Camp in Limpopo National Park, Mozambique, shares the western bank of the Machampane River with tall fever trees at a pool called Xisivene – which apparently means “deep pool”.
The wilderness trail experience that runs out of the camp is similarly structured to the iconic trails that operate in the Kruger National Park across the border. Machampane’s accommodation is a tad more luxurious though – large walk-in tents on stilts with en suite bathrooms.

The massive biofuels project south of Machampane and Massangir has been stopped. Good news for the people who are to be translocated into that area from the park. Turning their woodland into tracts of sugarcane was going to no only destroy 30000 ha of biodiversity but also close out their options to make livelihoods.
