I spent a week in the Makuleke concession in the Northern Kruger Park.

The Makuleke concession lies north of the Levhuvu river and south of the Limpopo river.

During this time I joined a tracks and signs course where we learned to ID tracks and signs and did a bit of trailing just for fun.

Walking into the lala palm savana is always fun.

Amazing habitat differences...

Standing between Mopani trees looking over lala palm savanna, fever tree and riverine forests, the limpopo river with Zimbabwe in the back ground.

Moved around for a different angle



Note the lala palm, wild date palm and then the Mopani in the background.
