Chips, I'd guess that it has something to do with the Scottish that passed the area?

Sorry OWN and Philip1. But thanks for trying. Another clue - It was named after someone who worked in Kruger. :popcorn: :popcorn:

I cant find it in the index of any of my Kruger books - maybe a new book I am waiting for will solve this ...

Chip and Phillip1 :thumbs_up:

The Bububu is one of the larger tributaries of the Shingwedzi River. What does bububu mean?

Clue: it is an ideophone (Ideophones are words that evoke a vivid impression of certain sensations or sensory perceptions, e.g. sound, movement, color, shape, or action) :wink:

Could it be a bird call?

Duke Ellieton, what a good and appropriate question, considering the floods around Kruger and Shingwedzi in particular. Bububu in Tsonga means 'the faraway rumbling of a river in flood.' There is another meaning ' to wake up very early and quickly'.
