Never been through the fever tree forest, but it looks fantastic $O\/$ $O\/$

Sjoe, it seems very dry up that side also

We arrived at Mopani just before 3pm. We unpacked the bakkie and relaxed the rest of the afternoon

This is our unit. No 13

Unit no 12 to our right

Our braai area

This guy entertained us again with his tricks.

Please help with ID on this little guy

So we were in bed by 7pm all fast asleep. And even the next morning all the aliens slept late

You do have a thing for hornbills doing tricks for you, hey?

Nice bungalow $O/\$

Had a good laugh at the itchy bum.

The water levels... you can hardly believe it, especially when seeing it so dry at another time.
