You can't control everything on the water. The things you can, you get right.

From arrival and throughout the week, the guides are on hand to help rig tackle, check leaders, change hooks and make sure everything is ready before each session.

The fish, weather and tides will do what they do. The tackle shouldn't be the reason an opportunity is lost.

Nile crocodiles were never far away on the Mnyera.

Arrival day was deliberately a slow one.

Time to settle into camp, prepare tackle with the guides and get a feel for the place before fishing started the following morning.

For guests on the Mnyera, the day often ended with sundowners overlooking Ndolo Pan.

Winter arrived properly in the Lesotho highlands this week☃️

A heavy cold front brought widespread snow, leaving Makhangoa Community Camp & Rosehip Cottage looking very different for a few days.

Rosy bee-eaters settling into the grass at Sette Cama.

One by one, more birds kept dropping in. A highly social species, they’re often seen gathering in large numbers — making moments like this part of the quieter wildlife encounters around camp.
