The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park supports migratory animals by linking nature reserves and parks across international borders, specifically connecting Kruger National Park in South Africa with Limpopo National Park in Mozambique and Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe.12
By integrating these protected areas into a single, large-scale conservation zone, the park effectively removes artificial barriers to movement. This allows for a wider range of travel for migratory animal populations, ensuring they can access the necessary resources and habitats across the region while maintaining biodiversity and ecological connectivity.1
