Flavour of the Month - March/April 2018 : H1-1 and Transport Dam

Dingwe, might we not as well add Transport dam to the title?

Yes, you are right !

Here are some more regular sightings on H1-1 :

They are also Buffaloes in the area, especially around Pretoriuskop, but the vegetation is thick and the sightings are not the best ones in the Park. I wonder if I have some pictures taken there...

Lovely pics, Flutty and Dindingwe

The pics I had from Transport dam disappeared when the last laptop was stolen. They were rather recent so not yet saved online $0*\$

On all my maps this piece of road (circled in red) is also labelled the H1-1.

Would be logical. From the gate to Skukuza!

A blast from the past!

The original gate at Numbi...my dad took this pic in 1958.

On Google it is called Pretoriuskop - Skukuza Road all the way to Skukuza $\O$ The other one Malelane - Skukuza Road, but only until it meets up with the Pretoriuskop - Skukuza Road.

I know that it's wrong, but I cannot help being a bit nostalgic of the old days

October 2009

This was only the Brat's second trip to Kruger and we entered at Numbi Gate. This was before my DSLR so the pics aren't great.

Me too Lis! I can remember that gate post was still there when we started going to the park in the 70s.
