This road was the last major tar road to be built in Kruger, discounting tarring existing dirt roads...quite a major undertaking and involving a lowish-level bridge over the Letaba river. It was designed to alleviate the schlepp of travelling to Letaba camp and then North, from Phalaborwa, opening the North of the Park to tourists more easily!
Very logical!
Mopane Camp and Shimuweni and Boulders followed/were included!
