The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.

Quiet, cool and green. Wi-Fi was good enough for video calls. The only thing missing was a second set of keys for our group.

We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.

The solar kept everything running through a long evening power cut and the borehole water was strong. Hosts met us at the gate and had the fire laid.
