Pongola / Maputaland Exploring Ride

[Rock On]

More pics from the unofficial border crossing ... perhaps this is where many of our Toyota engines get across into Moz.  ???
Scary to see how easy the access is.

The uSuthu River is wide and beautiful however, fringed by Fig trees and uKhanyekude (Fever Trees)

Donovan getting advise on how to read a map from a local  :biggrin:

The tracks in this area are a great deal more rocky than imagined... sandier the more East you head

Tracks around the Western boundary of Ndumo

At the foothills of the mountain, locals collect and transport water by donkey

Local shabeen for some cold cokes

Locals on top of the Ubombo were by and large friendly and approachable with only one incident of teenagers on the side of the road taking a pot shot at Jacques when riding past.

Donovan having an emergency visit. A few more meters Eastwards and it would be a seriously loooong drop of 500 meters into Swaziland  :biggrin: With some planning the long drop could have had some awesome views if rotated 90 deg.

Perhaps this pic looks more appropriate  :thumleft: :imaposer: :imaposer:
