Isn't it a modern name for the Northern section of Kruger in its entirety?

Correct! Nxanatseni I think is the area between the Olifants and Shingwedzi rivers. One of the other sections is Maroela between the Crocodile and Sabie rivers.

The others slipped my mind for the moment.

That is correct. From Olifants river and up.

:thumbs_up:

Who donated money for several huts to be built in Kruger, and now has the distinction of a museum named after him at Skukuza?

Ndloti, I agree. Hut S1 is the oldest one in Skukuza and is called 'Campbell 1929 Hut museum'. WA Campbell came from Mount Edgecombe in KZN. He was also a founding member of the National Parks Board.

Where in Kruger is a clock which was built in memory of HB Papenfus. Why did they honour him.

The Papenfus Clock Tower is in Skukuza - you cannot miss it - you pass it on the way from the main gate to the accommodation and shops. HB Papenfus was both a land developer in the Kruger region and president of the wildlife protection society in the first half of the 20th century.

Correct OWN. He was one of the main campaigners for the proclamation of Kruger. He was also a member of the first National Parks Board.

Sorry, Picnic, got mixed up between two ideas in my head; which means I shouldn't have relied on my memory before posting. :redface:

I actually meant the Shawu Valley.

Shawu valley is in northern KNP, near Shingwedzi. It was home to a member of the Magnificent Seven, Shawu, who produced the longest ever tusks in the KNP
