These have to be some of the most boring roads in Kruger. There is nothing to see.

Image

If you are traveling from Lower Sabie, you will need to drive the H5. Be prepared to be the only vehicle
on the road with not even on OSV in sight. The locals will watch you

Image

Mpondo Dam will be deserted with not even an elephant to look at

Image

Image

Wait, there is an Impala peeping through the long grass!

Image

This isn't a picnic site so you could be in a spot of bother if you need to go somewhere.

Image

and you certainly wouldn't want to bump into these three!

Image

Image

You might get a flea in your ear.

Image

Below the dam wall is the S102 (strangely known as the Mpondo Road)

Image

Definitely nothing to see so time to pull in for a short nap.

Image

Just a few dagga boys

Image

Yawn <zz> <zz> <zz>

Image

Image

Image

Image

and the tables are soon turned

Image

No, I certainly wouldn't waste my time on these roads

Graham, how right you are, absolutely nothing to see.....of course apart from all the wonderful sightings that you had, which cleaned the place for the next couple of years O** =O: =O:
