Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area - Overview

Overview

The Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area covers 4,195 square kilometres (1,620 sq mi), of which 2,783 square kilometres (1,075 sq mi) (66%) is in Mozambique, 1,095 square kilometres (423 sq mi) (26%) is in South Africa, and 317 square kilometres (122 sq mi) (8%) is in Swaziland. It is situated on a low-lying coastal plain between the Lebombo Mountains in the west and the Indian Ocean in the east. The area offers a unique combination of big-game country, extensive wetlands, and beautiful undeveloped coastal areas. It links the Maputo Elephant Reserve in Mozambique through the Futi Corridor and the Lubombo Conservancy in Swaziland to the Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa, creating the first major elephant stronghold along Africa's eastern coastline.
