The pan in front of the hide was great to start with, long ago, but climate change/refilling/not refilling has led to a wierd aquatic plant regime there?

These seasonal pans don't normally have any plants whatsoever.

Just my opinion.

The hide is named after the Gardenia tree! A lowveld local!

Must share an anecdote or two!

This hide is funny in that you can have cellphone reception..so can do a lot of "admin" while waiting for the animals, as a local!
