The Limpopo River is a significant river in southern Africa, flowing through Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The river is approximately 1,800 kilometers long and plays an important role in the region's ecology and economy.

The Limpopo River is one of the major rivers in Southern Africa, flowing through Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. It has a total length of approximately 1,800 kilometers (1,118 miles) and a drainage basin of about 408,000 square kilometers (157,000 square miles).

The river has a significant impact on the ecology and economy of the region. It provides water for irrigation and supports a variety of wildlife, including elephants, crocodiles, and hippos. The Limpopo River basin is also home to several important nature reserves and national parks, such as Kruger National Park in South Africa and Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe.

The river has a complex history, and its name is derived from the Sepedi word "Limpopo", which means "strong gushing waterfalls". The Limpopo River has been the site of many conflicts and disputes over water rights, particularly during times of drought.
