Afsaal

Afsaal is a picnic spot situated 21km north of Malelane, between Skukuza and Malelane, on the banks of the Mtlhowa Creek. Afsaal is Afrikaan for ‘a place next to the road where one breaks a journey to have a rest’. The site has a small shop. Toilets and barbecue facilities (Cadac gas braai) are provided at all sites, while some have a tuck shop where snacks, soft drinks and wood may be purchased.

Gas skottels (mobile frying pans on stands) can be hired at a nominal fee. The picnic site attendant then washes these on departure, thus freeing visitors from transporting greasy pans.
