Mana pools

Mana pools is in Zimbabwe. No electricity but drinkable water. Ablutions are old and need reparing. I discovered that tsetse flies are quick and hungry and one cannot feel their bite immediately. Only later when the itching starts and you have eleminated spider bite do you consider the damage is done by this little pest.

In the most secluded campsite, our neighbours were baboons. Humble and quiet and not in the least interested in our possessions. Not like the more populaR sites where you have to be on constant look-out to safe guard your food. Monkeys and Baboons alike.

A local elephant mother frequently visited the campsite with her calf. Indeed a humbling experience.
