Creek crossing shenanigans

Mt Mumpu and Changwena Falls

Setting off in the afternoon towards the foot of Mt Mumpu

We walk through a fire heading our way!

Mt Mumpu - the route we are taking up the west face climbs up through the cave on the left of the face

Camp near Mt Mumpu

Mt Mumpu from the swamp below

At the entrance to the Bat Cave

Climbing up through the Bat Cave

Looking out of the cave across the plains

Near the top of the cave - head for the light!

Rachel on the slopes above the cave

We're not the only primates on the mountain!

Aloe aloe aloe, what 'ave we 'ere!

Heading for the summit

Looking back down the summit ridge

Tom and Rachel on Mt Mumpu

Rachel with the cross (which was carried up by kids from Chengelo, Rachel's school)

Euphorbia

Scrambling down off the summit

Descending the mountain - looks a fair bit like the Kimberley in northern WA

So does this!

And this! Back at camp, a lovely swimming hole at Changwena Falls

Rachel at Changwena Falls

Changwena Falls

The downside to Changwena Falls was that after a while, the honeyflies congregated in huge quantities, and buzzed in your eyes and ears

Camp near the falls

Driving through Mkushi - after this we headed for the Chengelo School Anniversary - Rachel has all my photos from those few days
