N'waswitshaka River

The N'waswitshaka River (formerly N'waswitsake) and its tributaries are completely contained in the southern Kruger Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa. It has its origin near Pretoriuskop and joins the Sabie River at Skukuza. The name means "the happy one" in Xitsonga,[1] and is said to relate to an individual who always smiled.

Research camp

Near Skukuza's staff village is the N'waswitshaka research camp, which provides accommodation for visiting researchers and their guests. The facilities are comparable to the rondavels, chalets and campsites in the main camp, but are entirely self-serve. Additional resources such as an office facility with internet access and game guards are available for researchers if required.[2]

gollark: I imagine parsing 7D images might be hard.
gollark: This is a good idea, yes. Plot each one on one axis and do mathematical things™.
gollark: Ugh, transparency.
