Its 36 degrees in the office and the winds are predicted to hit gusts of 60km/hr today…   Yep.  September.  If the preceding month of August is when we talk about Winter leaving then September is a month when we forget what it was even like to be cold! Anyway as usual we just go straight […]

So as per usual we planned to open the lodge on the 1st of March after being closed over January and February.  Like last year though the weather decided to make things a bit interesting.  January and February were unusually dry months, and in fact at the end of February even seasonal game viewing tracks […]

September Newsletter – It is basically just baskets!

So we left you last month with a promise to have more updates about Elephayo’s woven muchinga products.  Some background.  We have always been admirers of traditional building techniques and have tried to incorporate as much ‘home grown’ building techniques and designs as we can.  The lodge overall uses a lot of traditional construction.  Local […]
