Die Levuburivier of Levuvhu[1] (Tsonga: Rivubye; Venda: Luvuvhu)[2] is geleë in die noorde van die Limpopoprovinsie van Suid-Afrika. Sommige van sy sytakke, soos die Mutshindudirivier en die Mutalerivier ontspring in die Soutpansberge. Die sytakke in die Krugerwildtuin is die Matukwane, Madziringwe, Mashikiri en voorgenoemde Mutale.[3]

Die Luvuvhurivier vloei vir ongeveer 200 km deur 'n verskeidenheid van landskappe voordat dit aansluit by die Limpoprivier in die koorsboombos naby Pafuri in die Krugerwildtuin.[4]

'n Zambezihaai (Carcharhinus leucas) is by die samevloeiing van die Limpopo- en Luvuburiviere gevang in Julie 1950. Zambezihaaie verdra vars water en kan ver opswem in groot riviere soos die Limpopo.[5]
