the Massingir Gate we journey by road and track through

paddling the meandering river and three nights camping wild
on its tree-lined banks. Perhaps a cast or two for tigerfish or a sighting of elephant before our 70 km journey ends at the confluence of the elegant Elefantes and the mighty Limpopo - ‘the epitome of freedom in this amazing wilderness area’. |
