In the Matopos hills

We arrived at the national park an we're greeted by a baboon, who promptly headed into the bush as soon as he heard out horde of 11- and 12-year-olds.






Then we drove another 20-25 minutes, first on one-lane paved and then on dirt roads, until we arrived at the lodges.



The lodges themselves are quite nice, with electricity, indoor plumbing, and fabulous catering by Chef Matthias and his crew.






The roofs are traditional construction and quite geometrically interesting.



But what interested the students most as we arrived hot off the busses was the large pool, created in a natural granite basin.
