The N'waswitshaka River (formerly N'waswitsake) and its tributaries are completely contained in the southern Kruger Park, Mpumalanga, South Africa. It has its origin near Pretoriuskop and joins the Sabie River at Skukuza. The name means "the happy one" in Xitsonga,[1] and is said to relate to an individual who always smiled.
