After the lions, I continued towards the H-9 and stopped at the Masorini Archeological & Picnic Site

Unfortunately, there was nobody around to show me the site, so I did what I had to do and left with the noise of the Buffalo Weavers in my ears

Something that I got to love in this area was all the small and less small koppies, at least they distracted me from the Mopane O** lol
