Afterwards, a very dry, uneventful 100 plus kms to Letaba traversing through my pet peeve: lassitude inducing mopani!!!
Only highlight was a herd of elephant browsing peacefully until a tour bus came along and scared them off!
The flood damage is very evident around Letaba, particularly around the Engelhard dam route. It is closed off but we cheated and accessed by going in close to Olifants camp. Much careful navigating of partially destroyed causeways and doubling back on numerous occasions later, we reached "Fish Eagle Tree" - took us 4 hours to get to a point roughly 5kms away from camp (as the crow flies).
Our reward ........
Some of the causeways could not be navigated, photo's don't really do it justice:
Wire caged rubble used as bolsters flung aside like kiddies building blocks:
