Re: New Road S147
That road doesn't look too narrow for me
Many other gravel roads inside Kruger are the same width and two cars can easily pass

Re: New Road S147
It’s off the H1-4 in the Ngotso Dams area south of Olifants.
I did this road last week.
Very scenic along the stream. It is widish in points, but it is also quite twisty and points can be narrow. With some blind corners where one can run into elephants quite suddenly !
The road then ends at a t-junction with another sand road. And is not sign posted. I took a punt and turned right. And then flagged down the first passing car and asked them what road I was on - it’s the S89 heading in the direction of the S90.
But it really does need to be sign posted.

Re: New Road S147
We also did the road on Sunday. Very nice indeed, with regular general game.
It is only 10km or so long, and comes out half way along the S-89 as Dzombs says.
Western entrance:

Re: New Road S147
We drove it last week Thursday and no other car with us for the whole road. Saw plenty Giraffes.
Next trip to the bush??

Re: New Road S147
There does need to be a sign at the exit side showing where one is.
Even some of the new maps don't have this road yet.
Perhaps something that needs to brought to the attention of SANP?
RP?
