Hulukulu Pan

The most northern named place in Kruger. No roads arriving, but "Morning walk to Hulukulu pan in Makuleke, Pafuri, KNP. To think how many sun rises these figs have seen."

Hartbeesfontein

The name originally referred to Dr Loubser’s farm which was isolated when encircled by the Orpen’s donated land. The farm was subsequently incorporated into the KNP in 1950. “Hartbees” is short for the Afrikaans word “Hartebees”, the closest English being Hartebeest, Alcelaphus caama.
Afrikaans: Fontein = fountain/ spring.
