Bush - to - Beach Route (3)



The Giriyondo Road, H15, follows the mopane scrub-veld over the Makhadzi watercourse and through the flatlands to a gap in the Lebombo that marks the border with Mozambique.

It's a 9 km trip along the H15 to Makhadzi picnic site, which has a kitchen and ablution facilities - useful on the long and winding road - and a small interpretative centre.



Firewood, charcoal and cold drinks are on sale, as well as some rather desperate-looking ornaments made out of tin cans and mopane leaves.

The picnic site is just beyond the Makhadzi River crossing, where elephants often gather.

There are a lot of road humps between Makhadzi and the Giriyondo border post.

What little game there is along this road is skittish probably because of the poaching of the past.

The road passes through a gap in the Lebombo at Mbhandweni waterhole, a creek in the Makhadzi River guarded by a fine old fig tree.
