Correctly known as Grootpan, sometimes mistaken for Grootvlei which is in the Limpopo to the south. The Limpopo river forms the southern border of Zimbabwe with South Africa, and flows west–east. The Mwenezi river is a major tributary and flows north–south. They do not meet in Zimbabwe, but converge to a distance of 20 km apart. In between is mostly a flat and undulating area around 300 m in altitude. This has created an open grassland and seasonal wetland expanse between the two known as Grootvlei with some development of a flood-plain downstream. Towards Chikwarakwara, to the west on the Limpopo river, are more flood-plain areas. The natural vegetation of the area is mopane woodland and Terminalia woodland. There are many palms Hyphaene in the area.
