WEDNESDAY WALK ABOUT Often when we go out and about we see more than we would have if we were driving past. Here we found a purple mushroom that had our local Fungi fundi all abuzz! Its sure gun to see these kinds of things, they often stick out as if they don't belong. We await eagerly to see what this discovery is all about. #Farmhousematopos #Worldsviewcampsite #Matopos #Matobohills

TRAIL CAM TUESDAY There is a healthy population of Kudu that frequently visits the property. Being neighbours to the Park, we add value as being a buffer zone. Allowing the wildlife to feel safe in an area where there is water year around. They are quite stunning animals, possible the most majestic of the antelope? What do you think? #FarmhouseMatopos #WorldsViewCampsite #Matopos #Matobohills

MEMORABLE MONDAYS Wow! How lucky was it to catch this on our sec Camera! This owl snatched up a mouse right in front of one of the lodges. #FarmhouseMatopos #WorldsViewCampsite #Matopos #Matobohills

SUNNY SUN-DAY “Saw the sunrise. A lovely apricot sky with flames in it and then solemn pink. Heavens, how beautiful…I feel so full of love today after having seen the sunrise.” – Katherine Mansfield

SOMETHING FOR A SATURDAY Seeing these fellas when we're out on a walk never ever gets old. Such a treat and honor to walk the same area as they do.

✨ Happy New Year from the heart of the wild! ✨ As we step into a fresh year, we’re gently reminded of the incredible privilege of sharing space with Zimbabwe’s magnificent wildlife — from the quiet grazers to the tall watchers of the bush. With this privilege comes responsibility. Every visit to a national park is an opportunity to honour and protect the delicate ecosystems that support all life here. Please may we all remember: 🌿 Respect the Environment: Stay on designated roads and paths, avoid picking plants, and leave every place exactly as nature created it — untouched and thriving. 🦓 Respect the Wildlife: Give animals the space they need to live naturally. Keeping a safe distance protects both you and them. Never feed wildlife, as it disrupts their natural behaviour and health. 🚮 Leave No Trace: Litter can harm animals and pollute their habitat. Please carry out everything you bring in. 🚫 Follow Park Rules: Speed limits, quiet zones, and viewing guidelines are in place to safeguard the animals and the environment — and to ensure every visitor enjoys a safe, peaceful experience. 🌍 Support Conservation: Your responsible actions help protect these landscapes for future generations. Every mindful choice contributes to the long-term survival of Zimbabwe’s precious biodiversity. Let’s enter the new year with gratitude, respect, and a shared commitment to protecting the wild spaces that inspire us. Together, we can ensure that places like Matopos remain a sanctuary for both wildlife and the people who cherish it. With warm wishes for a beautiful and environmentally gentle year ahead. 💚

✨ Happy New Year’s Eve! ✨ As we close out this year, we want to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful clients for your trust and support. It’s been a privilege working with you, and we look forward to achieving even greater things together in the year ahead. Tonight, as you celebrate, please remember to stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. 🥂🎉 Here’s to a joyful evening and a bright, successful New Year! 🌟 May your year start off on a note as beautiful as this sunrise!

WEDNESDAY WALK ABOUT When one is walking around on foot, we often find small things that are so easily missed when driving around. The Dungies are out and at it again. Remember when you are driving around a wild area to avoid driving over piles of dung. It could be a whole ecosystem of its own.

TRAIL CAM TUESDAY A handsome pair of common Duiker. There is a healthy population here on the property. Very shy though and not often seen.
