A highly recommended drive when in the North of the Kruger National Park around the Shingwedzi area, the S52 will take you along the Shingwedzi River and to the Red Rocks. Found about 15km from Shingwedzi the Red Rocks are a beautiful large sandstone slab. This rock has been weathered over an extremely long time by chemical, physical and biological processes. In this case the biologically induced process was the result of either a physical or chemical reaction being sped up by water. The formation of Red Rocks is said to be enhanced by a biological process which involves bacteria. A drive along this route is made all the more interesting because of these stunning Red Rocks.

The Afsaal Picnic Site is the main picnic area between the Berg-en-dal and Skukuza Rest Camps, and includes a restaurant and a small curio shop. Afsaal is an Afrikaans word that means "a place to break the journey" and the recently upgraded picnic spot offers just that - toilet facilities, braai stands, a shop and you can buy food if you don’t fancy a picnic.
