Camping on the road side - never made camp |
The roar of the lions was so loud all last night that we hardly slept with excitement...this is what camping in the bush is all about !
Matusadona camp on Kariba shore |
We filled up with diesel in Hwange bought fresh hot buns and hit the road and what a road!!After Siyakbvu the road to Matusadona became the worst road we have ever been on. It took us roughly 4 hours to travel 27 k and had not made our camp by 6.30 so had to camp on the side of the road. Our friendly game guards got us fire wood and obviously ablutions had to be in the bush !!
We set off this am for the second part of the trek...the 42k only took 2 hrs !! We are the only people here and it is beautiful..on the edge of Lake Kariba. Have not seen any game but the bird life is great..to name some new ones for us African Golden Oriole and Bennetts Woodpecker and Grey Headed Bush Shrike.
Elephant in the camp - nice big tusks |
Oh no, another beautiful sunset |
Gail just made us a lovely bread |
Most roads were in a shocking state |
On our way out - we look back over the bush we had just travelled |
Looking forward to a shower and braai tonight and clean clothes. Temperatures are far more pleasant now in upper twenties.
