This road can be very productive! There is no shortage of loops along the Shingwedzi River, and one can go and sit under a tree unnoticed for hours. :-0

One oddity is the pile of palm nuts one may see just outside the East Gate of Shingwedzi (It is the only camp with two gates...) :-)

These are swept up from under the trees in camp, I think, presumably they pong too much to be thrown away there? -O-

The rare Sharpe's Grysbok may be seen:

And some nice scenery indeed! ^Q^
