He is an account of a safari firm :"

Although we have been to Crooks Corner many times I regret to say that we do not have a picture. The closest one can get to the spot where the three borders meet is a view point in the north eastern corner of Kruger National Park and all that is visible is a section of the Luvuvhu River. Next time we are there I will take a picture and e-mail it to you. Better still, why not come and take the picture yourself!? "
