  • The Limpopo

    Has anyone ever tried to find this? Apparently it's a really mysterious river that is documented in many old texts and legends but no-one has ever found the source of any minor or major tributary. Does anyone know it?

        The Limpopo is a major river in southern Africa, which forms the South Africa-Zimbabwe and part of the SA-Botswana border. Reaches the Indian Ocean in Mocambique, a bit north of Maputo. There's nothing particularly mysterious about it.

        Probably, you're thinking of some other river.

                        Google is your friend.

                        I'm not even going to search but just on the fact that I know it, I'm going to guess it's one of the 10 biggest rivers in Africa (by debit, say).
