The camp was built in the early 1980's, as an initial experiment on a slightly different tangent to the Donor camps like Sirheni. The location has a lot to do with the powerline going to Shingwedzi, IMO, as it is one of the few bushveld camps with aircon, hence the conference facility added on. Found out President Mbeki was fond of the place and used it a couple of times! \O

Flutters, there are 3 x 6 bed units and 4 x 4 bed units.

RP, that totals 7, not 10. O**
