S114 Old Main Road, Kruger National Park

The S114 Old Main Road is a 50.2 km gravel road in Kruger National Park about 2.8 km from Malelane Gate. It connects to H1-1 Napi Road, H2-2 Voortrekker Road, H3 Malelane-Skukuza Road, H5 Randspruit Road and S21 N'watimhiri Road. Here's what lives along it, where to stop.

The S114 is the old main road between Malelane Gate and Skukuza, a gravel alternative to the H3 tar. It crosses the Biyamiti River at the Biyamiti weir and passes Renosterkoppies, and the S23 Biyamiti loop is a popular detour. Many of the south-western gravel roads, including the S21, S25 and S26, start from it.
