De Laporte is a well-established windmill a few km south of Skukuza on the H1-1.

This Area includes the H1-1 between Skukuza and the H3.

It was named a former Park Ranger, Cecil Richard de Laporte. It was his management of the Park during the First World War, that did not enamour him to James Stevenson-Hamilton.

It is very near the parking lot, making for good viewing opportunities. Nearby attractions include Mathekenyane Hill lookout (Granokop). Big Five sightings are common.

It was the 13th of October I think, to our surprise, an impala had fallen into the water hole and out of nowhere we get to see this male making a kill.
