Besides the Capricorn loop, there are also several other nice spots around Mopane, including the two hides, the causeway over the Tsendze river and the wetland North of the old Nshawu waterholes. The viewing decks inside the camp also offer nice birding opportunities (as well as an excellent restaurant!)
We were surprised by a large Elephant bull coming over the river bank while we were sitting on the low bridge. It offered a rare opportunity to photograph an elephant from below!
There was also a cute little Klipspringer.
For one of our excursions towards Mopane, we decided to take the S50 gravel road, rather than the tar road. Not far outside the camp, we saw something quite amazing: an entire cluster of mushrooms, growing out of a ball of Elephant dung!
Later, we also had a quick look-in at the Nyawutsi hide. There wasn’t much movement, but the view from the hide is always beautiful.
