The interesting thing is that this road was a dirt road for most of its life...only became tarred in the 1990's, as an alternative to the busy Numbi-Skukuza road.

Phabeni gate then followed later...it was a bit strange going up north from Numbi and encountering this grand new road leading right!

Good planning, though! ^Q^ X#X

Saw my third ever leopard there when it was still dirt...1989
