All was very still and relaxed .
I went off and washed the dishes and did some laundry so that it could dry off in the heat while we were out for the day exploring the Shingwedzi Valley. It was only whilst doing these chores that I learned that we were only going to be leaving at 10:00 so that people could have long breakfasts and lie ins! What a waste! No wonder we never see any game - they've all migrated for the day by the time we get out there! In this climate we should be down by the river by 06:00 while it is still cool. I'm sure there would be herds of game gathering for their water.
