One definitely comes to Gonerazhou for the scenery. Chipinda Pools the first night on the edge of the Runde River with hippo and crocs. They have two ablution blocks with running water and hot showers . Very pleasant.
On to Chinguli campsite which is also on the Runde river looking towards the cliffs. The reflections of the Chilijo Cliffs in the water is very beautiful.
We were again spoilt with hot showers. Our in house comedian, Hennie kept us in hysterics around our camp fire once again last night !!
The highlight of the day was our drive to the top of the Chilijo Cliffs. The view from there is magnificent. Two Black Eagles were gliding around us scanning the edges of the cliffs for quite some time..what a treat.
Arrived at Chilojo Cliffs campsite which is a bush camp with one long drop toilet!!!We are now sitting on the edge of the river looking straight across at the cliffs enjoying sundowners...what a view.
On to Fishan camp which also only has the luxury of a long drop. We are on the bank of the Runde river once again with many crocs and at least 100 Egyptian geese...you can imagine the noise...thought we were back home !!
Took a game drive and stopped in the causeway to wash our cars which were in bad need of it. They have done a lot of work on the roads in the Park so other than an odd patch here and there they are in very good condition.Everyone except Rita &Gavin, Gail &Garth and Bail and I , left for home today.
Sat 6th Rita & Gavin have set off for home and we are heading for Mozambique today. 
Saw more game driving out the Reserve this morning than the previous few days. .the highlight being 2 Wild Dogs (Painted Dogs) as they now seem to refer to them as in Zim. As we crossed the last causeway a hippo popped his head out of the water about 5m away from our car !! The bridge crossing the Runde River was washed away in 2000 and has still not been repaired.
Will drive until about 4pm today (+-9 hrs) so it will be a long day..not sure where we will spend the night!
