Africa Wild

This road was also one of the last major tar roads built in Kruger...like the Mopanie-Phalaborwa road! (As mentioned!)

If you go a bit South of Tshokwane, on the tar, you will see a little tar offramp to the south, which ends in nothing! That is where the original "H-10" Dirt road came on from the south, since closed and superseded by the tar junction north of that!

Basically the S-128 carried on straight north, while Mlondozi was serviced by loop roads!

Around 1985!

Oops, I never got round to posting my bestest sighting on this road

Low-level Bridge Nkumbe

I like this road. Have had good sightings along here over the years, including Reedbuck not far from the Mlondozi turnoff.

Interesting I have seen a lot of Elephants along here, particularly on the steeper sections.

We've also seen reedbuck here, and ellies.

Did someone notice that a big tree at the Nkumbe lookout has fallen ? In november 2015, I took this picture and took advantage of the tree to frame my picture so that it is not too "flat"


In February 2017, I tried to take exactly the same view to compare the dry and wet season, but did not find the tree. It had fallen dead.


Some animals seen with a tele zoom from Nkumbe : Rhinos and Wildebeests.


And a much much smaller animal, a Flap-necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) crossing the H10.

Nice zoom!

Pity the tree is gone.

Nice pics.

Pity about the tree

It sure is flat there. Not my kind of scenery

The chameleons are charming little animals

Our "new" little cats are doing well and inspired me for this story... cheetah and her two cubs...


09 – Cheetah with 2 cubs

Hi all, welcome again and we like to invite you for a nice drive in the southern part of kruger.
Staying in Lower Sabie. After an early morning drive and having breakfast we decided to have another drive on the search for (potential) tuskers. Main road H10, then S29… crossing the H10 again and taking some small roads before we finally got back to the H10. No tuskers seen and slowing down to get on the H10 … then… at the lefthand side

On this (normally) busy main road mother cheetah and two cubs…just coming out of the bush
