Leadwood Trees Guarding the Abandoned Selati Line

An atmospheric view of the historic Selati Railway embankment in Kruger National Park, framed by hardy leadwood and marula trees. This 2017 photograph captures the eerie silence of the decommissioned line near Skukuza. The raised stone foundation remains a permanent feature of the landscape, long after the steam locomotives of the early 20th century were replaced by the sounds of the African wilderness.
