When the dam is full there are sometimes elephants all over the place, but one can hardly get a photo of the entire dam

Strange to se the elephants spread out like that, normally they stick together

These are several bull groups and small breeding herds
not interested in any interaction
Perhaps they love the dam because there is enough space for all of them

Who has yet to visit this place, don't wait - rather go very soon. The dam is also on the list of ARTIFICIAL WATER-POINTS ON TOURIST ROADS SCHEDULED TO BE REPLACE BY NATURAL ALTERNATIVES
To be closed in the long term (over 5 years, after 2015), so GO NOW, guys

That list chops and changes a lot, Klippies!

I would appreciate if Sanparks would specify what those " natural alternatives" are

Also for water birds?
Maybe the trees are too far away
might be another reason why it is quiet there
