At Little Makalolo............

............our tent was awaiting, and being under canvas again was comfortable with all mod cons except a hairdryer! Yikes, me without a hairdryer results in hats.........which is why you see me wearing one often on safari. Actually one requires a hat much of the time anyway, the sun is hot by mid-morning, there are no clouds and little shade once out in the bush and open plains. Sunburn and windburn were our enemies, not that there was any blowing wind, just rushing dry air when dashing along in the open Land Rovers in the early cold mornings, and again in the evenings after sunset. It was strong enough to produce severe windburn and Bob's lips suffered, poor guy.

Little Makalolo camp is in one of Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park's best wildlife viewing areas. Small - just six spacious tents - comfy and a bit more rustic but with both indoor and outdoor showers...........

....here Bob's checking it out as we moved in, plumbing worked fine and we did shower out there on a warm afternoon. Solar power for hot water and lighting ensures a lighter ecological footprint, a very important factor in building these camps.

Checking in to a new safari camp is always exciting. Most have a "loo with a view" such as this one.........

..........which overlooked the waterhole in front of the camp. Have you any idea how amazing it is to sit watching elephants and such from a toilet seat while answering Nature's call!

 "This one's mine"..........and she/he is adorable don't you think?".

Main camp area was lovely with a relaxing sitting area and small library, and dining tent.

Mary, Mark, our Ranger Charles, Tracy, Kim and Bob......

 ...the wonderful chefs preparing the omelets...

...............Kim, Bob and Paula enjoying an early breakfast before heading out on the morning game drive.

Little Makalolo's Pool area......

....and fire pit where we were entertained by rangers Bulli (playing the music) and Honest dancing.

The gals get-together.................Vee, camp manager, and her assistants Tracy and Tendai.....they were all amazing women and we three enjoyed their company.

Next time........guess who came to visit at teatime?
