There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

You're right. It's quite difficult to get any meaningful data as to completion or how far along they are, though, and the info on the SanParks website itself is not datestamped. I've checked other sources and again, I can't see a date to the article itself except the date stamp on the webpage, which was a rather nebulous 2024.
I know sections have been removed, animals translocated into the Limpopo National Park side and attempts at building a tourist infrastructure and bear in mind, there are still communities still living in the National Park. When last I was in Kruger I spoke to a couple who had gone in a few years ago through the Giriyondo border post and their view was that the scenery was spectacular and the animals sparse but that's anecdotal at best. With the current political situation Mozambique being tense, who knows what that means for the initiative. Ideally it would have been as seamless as The Kgalagadi was but the political and social situations are completely different and much more challenging.
The corridor to Gonarezhou linking the three is also yet to be established.

I see. Yeah, the political situation Mozambique is indeed tense now that you mention it so it makes sense that the initiative has been put on hold for now. Thank you for the response, mate.
