Description
It's uphill from the lake and opposite the rock paintings. There is a small project to build old local houses. But there is plenty of space to camp with a fantastic view over the lake. We stayed 3 days, very quiet. And a lot of options to walk around. Econet is very slow.
Call Thompson (owner) for more info : +263 775 319 658

As said before, people burned his project down, very sad to see. Visited the place last year and it was such a lovely initiative.
If you ever had the thought to buy something look for him near Clever
Thomassen is no longer there. New people destroyed and burned the camp and destroyed his statues laid on the floor.

We are welcomed by Thomassen, he explains our project to redo a traditional Shona village to welcome travelers!
He started this project in 2014 and he does it almost alone, he is a sculptor and does beautiful things!
He believes very strongly in his project, I like people like him, so come and visit him without hesitation for a great bivouac with a very beautiful view of the lake!
