The last waterhole on this road is Olifantdrinkgat, or Elephant Waterhole, near Manzimahle.
I have seen elephant, lion, buffalo and white rhino here.
It is mostly disconnected of late, but there is a little "natural" dam against the access road which seems to hold water for a long time sometimes!
Branches cut away for view!
The windmill is safely "stored":
Here is the top view:
You can see that it is quite a way away from the main road, so a little rest spot.
Dam far left below, empty reservoir to the top right of that, and empty drinking trough top left.

Here is the empty trough in late winter 2018:
The windmill was donated quite a while after completion of the road. Too bad so sad for the donors...

If done a bit better, the view would have been better
Why so many animals if the through is empty

It even looks as if some are drinking.
