Flavour of the month June-July 2016 - S51 Sable Dam Road

Post by Alf »

Decided it's time for another road that I love to drive every time we enter at Phalaborwa Gate.

We have done this road plenty of times and we always stop at the hide.

On a 2012 trip we found the dam overflowing into the parking area and hide

On a 2013 trip we were very lucky to have found 2 separate lion sightings on this road

Image

Image

The dam not so full this time

Image

Also found this sleeping elephant

Any of you had luck on this road -O-
