Hlambamaduba

Hlamvu

A tributary of the Shingwedzi river and situated 31 kilometres south-south-east of the Shingwedzi rest camp. The watercourse was named after a local Shangaan tribesman of the same name and a literal translation from Tsonga would mean “Bullet”. Inhlamvu – (Zulu) meaning honey guide bird.

Hartbeesfontein

The name originally referred to Dr Loubser’s farm which was isolated when encircled by the Orpen’s donated land. The farm was subsequently incorporated into the KNP in 1950. “Hartbees” is short for the Afrikaans word “Hartebees”, the closest English being Hartebeest, Alcelaphus caama.
Afrikaans: Fontein = fountain/ spring.
