Kingfisherspruit

A ranger's post and section encompassing the Orpen camp area in the central district.

Louis Trichardt Memorial

Louis Trichardts trek during March 1938 took him and his party through Kruger National Park just north of Tshokwane. This memorial can be seen on the H1-3 just before passing the S37 Trichardt road

Loskop Windmill

Mostly defunct waterpoint on the Mlondozi stream next to Muntshe hill. (H10)

Literally means "loose head" in English.

The name is Afrikaans for “secluded/ loose or separate hill” - Vd Wateren

Longwe

One of the highest "peaks" of the Lebombo Mountains, to the east of Letaba camp behind the Engelhard dam and Matambeni bird hide. (480m above sea level)



This koppie is a high point in the Lebombo mountains and
carries a beacon. The word is of Tsonga origin and is also
used to describe the whole of the Lebombo mountain range.
The “longwe” is a bag made of net, with which the Tsonga
people transport maize or fruit. The physical appearance of
the lumpy Lebombo mountains must have looked similar to
that of a filled “longwe”. - Vd Wateren

Lindanda Wolhuter Memorial

Harry Wolhuter was on of the Kruger Park's first Rangers. In 1904, Harry was riding on horseback along the S35 (Lindanda Road), and was attacked by two lions, shortly after nightfall.

When he fell from his horse one of the lions attacked him and dragged him almost 100 metres into the surrounding bush. The overwhelmed ranger managed to retrieve his knife from his belt and stabbed the lion.

The lion the let go of Wolhuter, who managed to climb into a tree, just before the second lion came after him. Wolhuter's colleagues arrived shortly after and carried him back to the camp.

Today Wolhuters knife and the skin of the lion are on display at the Stevenson-Hamilton Museum in Skukuza.

Wolhuter was known by his Swazi name, Lindanda, a name derived from a loincloth, which he always wore.

The Wolhuter Memorial can be found along the Lindanda road, at the spot where he was attacked by the lions.
