Flavour of the Month - August - September 2017 - Flavour H1-6

Post by aat »

and yes.... also near the junction one of the Legendary Tuskers - Alexander

It's February 2008 when I met this special one. He spent all of life near Mopani and died close to the place I photographed him. You can say he is still there because his skull is visible if you come from Mopani camp at the RH side

Nice, aat and Alf! X#X

We normally don't see much on this road, as we are either cruising up to the North after gins and tonic at Mopane, or cruising home at the end of the trip! :o0ps:

Great Alf, so far the only one with a contribution. We can't expect anything from RP (only loaded with gin and tonic) as he says. See you in October ? X#X
