Hi All,
In October, I am spending five nights in the North( Letaba,Mopani & Shingwedzi). Yeah!
I would like to spend most my time looking for lovely tuskers, especially my favourite tusker Mandezemba!
I am planning to drive along the S56 loop as much as I can. Anywhere else I should hangout looking for these wonderful tuskers? Thank you for any suggestions.
Ps: aat, it’s looks like you are arriving in the north week after I am gone!!

Hello Jay and welcome to the forum

Have a look here viewtopic.php?p=408324#p408324 and also the other Travel Tales written by Aat

Hello, Jay!

Dunno, but the area around Mopane camp seems the best followed by Shingwedzi camp area! It may be quite dry, so the rivers will be where the older bulls may relax?

Good hunting!

Jay, good suggestion….stay longer so we can have a drink together watching Mandzemba in the riverbed

Hi,
Thank you Lisbeth & Richpins for the suggestions. I will stake out my luck around those areas.
Aat, a very good suggestion so I went out and bought a EuroMillions ticket this weekend hoping for a big win which would help to stay in the park for a very long time with you looking for tuskers!! Alas, not to be. Sadly, I will have to go back to go to work! Hopefully, our paths might cross another time in the park.
Have a good trip.
