The '''Bushveld''' (from [[Afrikaans]]: ''bosveld'', [[Afrikaans]]: ''bos'' 'bush' and {{langx|af|[[veld]]}}) is a [[Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands|sub-tropical woodland]] [[ecoregion]] of [[Southern Africa]]. The ecoregion straddles the [[Tropic of Capricorn]] and constitutes the southern part of the [[Zambezian region]]. It encompasses most of [[Limpopo]] and a small part of [[North West (South African province)|North West]] in [[South Africa]], the [[Central District (Botswana)|Central]] and [[North-East District (Botswana)|North-East District]]s of [[Botswana]] and the [[Matabeleland South Province|Matabeleland South]] and part of [[Matabeleland North Province|Matabeleland North]] provinces of [[Zimbabwe]]. The [[Kruger National Park]] has a number of 'Bushveld' camps,<ref name="KNP">{{cite web |title=Kruger National Park Camping |url=http://krugerparkbookings.com/category/kruger-national-park-camping/ |publisher=Kruger National Park Camping |access-date=2013-01-09}}</ref> but these are strictly speaking in the [[Veld#Lowveld|lowveld]], as these terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Although their limits are somewhat blurred,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nature-reserve.co.za/south-africa-info-lowveld.html |title = Lowveld - South Africa Geographic Regions}}</ref> lowveld is generally restricted to the more easterly parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
