When I started this thread, I said the first trip I drove this road and didn't see much.
And the second trip, I did see quite a bit.
So my over all rating is so-so. 0*\

But it seems that good sightings are regularly seen along this road.

My impression is that the S28 is better -O- Maybe because we always drive it early in the morning and the H4-2 going back ;-)

I would tend to agree.
Mainly I think is because the S28 is far more open, so makes game spotting easier.
The thickly vegetated section of the H4-2 can be difficult to see into the bush, and also attracts fewer grazers.

I haven't seen cats on the S28, though Cheetah are supposed to be seen there fairly frequently.
(Did have a hyena loping next to the car for quite a way.)
But I have seen plenty of general game, some huge buffalo herds, and there are a fair number of elephant bulls in that area.

The H4-2, on the 2nd trip, saw lions twice and doggies :O^

I find the S28 better for cheetah and general game, but the H4-2 better for leopard, hyena and dogs, however both produce lion, so I suppose it depends on what one is looking for. -O- The H4-2 does produce cheetah also. Seen 7 or 8 cheetah on it over the years so -O-
