Rixile Bush to Beach Route

One of the boldest and most exciting cross-border initiatives currently unfolding in Southern Africa is the development of transfrontier parks and transfrontier conservation areas. At the forefront is the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a total area of 35 000km², which brings together some of the best and most established wildlife areas on the subcontinent. The opening of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park and a new border post at Giriyondo in the Kruger National Park, stimulated the idea to develop another Rixile Route. Rixile, meaning dawn of the day, has been used as a brand for three exiting tourism routes in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The latest of these, the Bush to Beach Route, links South Africa to Mozambique through a unique experience in the newly proclaimed transfrontier conservation area.

The route starts at Phalaborwa, and leads through the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, to the towns of Massingir, Chókwe and Xai-Xai, before heading north to the tourism centres of Inhambane and Vilankulo. A new concept in tourism, the bush to beach experience provides travellers with the opportunity to have the best of both worlds. You can spend a few days in one of Southern Africa’s most renowned game parks, before reaching the pristine beaches of Mozambique, which offer activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, angling and whale-watching.
