Nice post, Paul! I love posts that describe daily life around Londolozi – stuff that we don’t see when we are enjoying all the wonderful game viewing and sumptuous hospitality. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Welcome Paul! It will be a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for your first impressions. They made interesting reading! We are pensioners in our 80’s and so won’t make it to Londolozi except through our daily articles we are being sent – but we feel we have actually been there and got to know the animals and the people – and a very interesting bunch they all are! We are sure you will be kept interested and happy! All the best. Wendy and Neil MacNicol
