North of Letaba , towards Mopani
Hlanganini died in july 2009
This beautiful Tusker, for some time the biggest tusker of Kruger National Park, was an "easy" going , friendly and relaxed Tusker.
To honour him I created two pages about his life. Thanks to all people who sent pictures of him I can cover 6 years of his life.
