That locals will soon be able to step out onto the stunning beaches that rival the coastal cities of Cape Town or Durban without the long trek is not a function of the fact that Limpopo has a growing number of millionaires.

Recently, Limpopo signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Xhai Xhai, Gaza, Mozambique, for access to their beaches via the Kruger National Park (KNP) route, also known as “Bush to the Beaches”.

The agreement is part of a plan to reposition Limpopo as it seeks to attract more tourists, create more job opportunities for locals and grow the provincial economy.
