Situated in the northern part of the Limpopo Province, sharing a 50 odd km unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park, for the greatest part along the Luvuvhu River, from Pafuri in the north almost to Punda Maria in the south, this 18 000 ha provincial park with it’s rugged baobab dotted landscape, river gorges and weathered sandstone ridges has a very distinct wilderness character and particularly appeals to those who like it really wild.

Perched on a high cliff, Mutale Falls Camp overlooks the Mutale river which transects the northern part of the park. Both the central kitchen/dining facility and braai area as well as all of the sleeping tents afford exquisite views over the river and surrounding bush land. The picturesque Mutale Falls, also known as Mavhelane (Vhenda for ‘boiling pot’) Potholes is a short walking distance downstream from the camp.

The use of a 4 wheel drive vehicle, or at least one with good ground clearance, is recommended for visiting this park and for reaching Mutale Falls Camp, which is approximately 16 km from the main entrance gate of the park.
