S131
Phalaborwa Gate to Letaba (Shivhulani Road)

In terms of game viewing, the S131 can be full of surprises and sightings of lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra, impala and even the side-striped and black-back jackal are often reported.   It is a quiet road, a bit bumpy at times but overall the quality is not bad.

A very common bird on this road is the red-crested korhaan and it can often be spotted right on the roadside.

There are a number of scenic game hot spots, or waterholes, along the S131 and the vegetation of bushwillows, mopanes, weeping wattles and silver cluster-leaf trees with lala palms along most of the drainage lines, makes the drive both scenic and peaceful.
