Gosh they look similar, don't they? But mine is in a totally different area of the park... Let's allow other people to throw in some guesses too, ok RP? :P

Repeat:

Clues so far:
- Very popular road. Pic taken at a point where most people already start looking out to the left. This pic was taken looking to the right.
- Coming from the North, most people will indeed be looking to turn left shortly.
- The "just up the road view to the left" is a river.

*edit: fixed tags

Much more North, Foxy.

JoQues, go ahead. Maybe another clue?

Just a small one for now: central region of the Park.

@Jose: The spruit (Mavumbye?) on the right just before turning left into Gudzani Dam?

@RP: Balule (Olifants low level) bridge?

Jose, could it be just before the H8 turnoff to Olifants camp?

Jose

It's the dip through the N'wanetsi river on the S100/Gudzani dirt road as you turn south before turning left to the "popular" picnic spot!

Now I see where our signals got mixed up!

Makes perfect sense now!

(Please don't say I'm wrong, as I will appear to be a total poephol.)

Eina! How am I going to break the news gently...?

Do you want to sit down, RP? Can I get you a glass of something? Some valium perhaps? :P Coz I'm afraid, you're wrong...

So far Elsa's guess is closest. Almost within shouting distance! :lol:

JoQues, get the F$#@% off my thread!!

OK, just joking. I have learned to deal with my intimate relationship with disappointment...

arks, you are totally correct!

That Low-water bridge is often the last stop before returning to Balule, and can take many beers' worth of time, depending on how strict you think the gate/camp guard will be!

Well done!

(Really scary how some seem to have a sixth sense!)

Aside from Jose's remote spot, here's one that is much more exciting!

Poor quality will be made up for by the story

First ID the animals involved, then the spot!

Those strippy animals look like zebbies and an impala.
Location ?

Is there a waterhole behind the animals ?

Er, Foxy, doesn't help you asking ME for the location...That is YOUR job!

There is indeed a very famous waterhole between the zebbies and the other animal, which isn't an impala.

Wrong, Freda
