1 Study Tour C: Swaziland and Kruger National Park (Pre-tour) 11 to 15 May 2016 Introduction This tour combines scenic routes in neighbouring country Swaziland with game watching in the Kruger National Park. The tour starts with a visit to the 115 m high Maguga Dam which has one of the largest labyrinth spillways in the world, as well as the Driekoppies Dam. This will be followed by two full days spent in the renowned Kruger National Park, where you will get a chance to spot the Big Five in one of Africa s premier game reserves. Bushmen Paintings and a Night Game Drive are just a few of the highlights to look forward to. This five day tour concludes with a visit to the recently completed 81 m high RCC De Hoop Dam, located in the Sekhukhuneland. Map (See Page 5 for detailed road map) 1

Itinerary Day 1 Wednesday - 11 May :00 Depart from Sandton Convention Centre. Tour participants will be advised of the pick-up arrangements via at a later stage. 13:00 Lunch at Milly s Trout Retreat. 14:30 Cross border into Swaziland and drive to Maguga Dam (115 m high) and Hydropower Station (19 MW) Maguga Dam forms part of Phase 1 of the development of the Komati River Basin under the authority of the Komati Basin Water Authority (KOBWA), a bi-national agency created by South Africa and Swaziland. The primary purpose of the scheme is to supply water for irrigation and domestic use in Swaziland and South Africa. A 115 m high rockfill embankment with a clay core was constructed. A labyrinth-type spillway enabled the full width of the spillway to be reduced from 460 m to 181 m, without increasing the freeboard required. A 100m wide concrete lined chute ends in a deflector bucket discharging into a 40 m deep plunge pool. The spillway was designed for a flood of cubic metres per second, but can accommodate the probable maximum flood (PMF) of cubic metres per second. The performance of the overflow crest and the spillway chute was model tested. 17:00 Check in at Protea Hotel Piggs Peak 19:00 Dinner Day 2 Thursday - 12 May :30 Breakfast 09:00 Drive to Driekoppies Dam 11:30 Drive Visit the Driekoppies Dam, a 50 m high composite concrete and earthfill dam The structure or the Driekoppies Dam wall was dictated by the geological conditions.
