Indeed, Karula. Buffalo Camp was certainly not affected. It is their nicest camp in my personal opinion, but I don't give a hoot for luxury.

Extensive flooding does wonders for game viewing, as animals will do anything to get out of the damp and wet grass, which increases the appeal of road. The effect is greatest in Kruger, which has nice and wide tar roads that dry quicly and provide a refuge for soaked animals. The problem in private reserves is that the game viewing tracks might not be to wet to drive

Not as far as I know, but I will find out. There are certain areas with black-cotton soil where offroading is not allowed at all, e.g. the Madikwe plains, but that's it I think. In any case, 400 meter is a considerable distance.
