Dead Dog and Dead Porcupine Caves

Dead Dog Cave: We recently explored the Dead Dog cave in iNjasuti for the first time.  
Approach: None of the old paths exists on the map anymore. I recommend approaching from the top down to the cave (very faint path can be found) rather than traversing in at the same level of the cave; very steep slopes which go in and out of deep valleys with no path. GPX for the top down route attached. 
The cave: The cave is a massive 50m wide overhang with a waterfall plunging over the center and falls for about 50m. The cave is very dusty and full of rubble. Camping is at the opposite end of the cave but NB don't traverse the cave to get to the opposite end. Lots of loose rock and slippery dust with a significant fall out the cave. Approach by going to the bottom of the cave, then follow the opposite end up to the camping area. Sleeps 8. 
Dead Porcupine Cave: There is a cave directly below Dead Dog Cave. What are the chances there was the carcass of a dead porcupine in the cave, hence its name going forward
