The H10 is a tar road connecting Tshokwane and Lower Sabie.
From "Where to watch game in the Kruger National Park" by Nigel Dennis:
During the dry winter months, the region to the north of Lower Sabie provides one of the grand spectacles of the Kruger Park. At times, huge herds of zebra and wildebeest gather for winter grazing, and good numbers of elephant are often present as well.
The most productive area lies towards Muntshe, between 10 and 25 kilometres north of Lower Sabie on the H10. The big cats take advantage of such a high concentration of prey species, and on one memorable drive I saw cheetah, leopard and lion within the space of a few kilometres along this route.
Continuing north on the H10, the road leaves the plains and rises sharply to follow a rocky ridge. As is to be expected, there are plenty of klipspringer in this area. However, the presence of general game species is rather sparse. For those with an interest in botany, a rare succulent - the Lebombo euphorbia - grows profusely in this region. The high vantage point of Nkumbe Lookout offers a grand vista of the seemingly endless bushveld below, and many consider this to be the most memorable scenic view in the Kruger Park.

I have had mixed sightings along this road.
It does seem to be good for elephants. But other sightings for me have been sparse.
