It is a 53km stretch between Phalaborwa and Tsendze/Mopani and which crosses the Letaba river. It has a few loops where you can inspect the Ngwenyeni river up close and the best of all is that this road is quiet and has a lot of gems.
I have only driven this road 3 times but the wonders I have seen are priceless and I hope that you guys have experienced this road in the same way.

This road was the last major tar road to be built in Kruger, discounting tarring existing dirt roads...quite a major undertaking and involving a lowish-level bridge over the Letaba river. It was designed to alleviate the schlepp of travelling to Letaba camp and then North, from Phalaborwa, opening the North of the Park to tourists more easily!
Very logical!
Mopane Camp and Shimuweni and Boulders followed/were included!

I decided that I like this H14 too much to not drive it in July so we changed our one night in Punda camping to Sable Hide which is going to allow us to drive to Punda via this beautiful road.
Will post some more kiekies of sightings on this road later today...

That's the bridge, nana! One of the longest construction projects in Kruger history, vying with the S-25 Mbyamiti bridge, and the Crocodile Bridge bridge!
