Vutomi dam is scheduled for closure, removal and rehabilitation. But this will only happen once an alternative, natural water-point has been found in the area, and only after 2015.



I trust that this answers your question.

Will continue waterhole closure discussion on another thread once we have more feedback!

A nice lion encounter end last year:

The first view just to the south of the actual Dam!






Image






And a female strolls across the road...it was very overcast, so tough pics...


And drinks!





Image






The small pride was eating a kudu:






Image




But the one female was very apprehensive...probably cubs nearby?





Image





And the lady does her thing in the riverbed...you can see the windmill adjacent to the dam in the background!
