Mpofu to Fort Fordyce
Distance 21 km.
The distance from Mpofu to Fort Fordyce is only 21 km. There is actually talk of consolidating these two reserves, because they are so near each other.
Upon reaching Fort Fordyce, we met the manager of the camp, who placed us in Harris Hut. It was very misty and we could see many tame horses walking around in the garden between the buildings.
The hut was very neat and has a small kitchen and a bathroom. This hut is suitable for a small family...
