How different it looks during summer :shock: In winter it is like being in the desert O-/ Much better in summer :yes:

Pioneer Dam:

Mopani has become an oasis in the dry mopaneveld since Pioneer Dam was built in the 1980s. The vegetation and birdlife have been radically altered by the introduction of a permanent water source in the north. One of the consequences has been the introduction of new species, including the collared (redwing) pratincole, which is now a regular at Mopani and Letaba, not having been recorded in Kruger before 1980.

I have not been able to find anything else for the time being, apart from what is written about new species having arrived with the dam -O-

The dam is special like dams in the Biyamiti, Mphongolo, and Nwaswitsontso rivers! ;-)
