The passionate owners are normally your guides for your stay, and this give a more personal feel to your stay, one you are unlikely every to forget. David Attenborough stayed at Vundu Camp and had Nick Murray as his personal guide whilst making an episode on the Wild Dogs of Mana Pools of the series Dynasties.
