We left camp two and headed towards camp three.  Tomas our tracker would remain behind as we would be crossing over into South Africa and passports are required.  It took us several hours to get back to the highway and as we approached the roadway we stopped at Tod's.  This little oasis is all setup for the weary traveler  After a quick soda we were off.

When we arrived at the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa, we had to go through about five different checks.  It took about 45 minutes and was not all that bad.  No pictures were taken as there were too many people in uniform and I sure did not want any problems.

We stopped in the town of Messina for lunch and then proceeded towards Bandelienkop where we would find Camp Three.  Once again after traveling for many miles on dirt roads and trails we arrived.  This is the main house of a different PH where he and his family live.  A beautiful home with many out buildings.

This outbuilding would be home for the next several days.

This picture is a fisheye view looking out from the front door of the main house.
