A rather interesting drive brings you up to Amalinda Lodge . Met by Billy and staff in reception who took us up the main dining area for a welcome then off to our rooms. Well, what completely unique rooms using the the local rock formations and thatch absolutely stunning. We found ourselves in room 10 with a huge sleeping area , very comfortable bed and storage for clothing . Lovely views and then the bathroom, so quirky, beautiful, and no problem with hot water you could bath alfresco if that's your thing!! A rather special addition to this room is a beautiful resting, reading spot accessed via a slatted bridge , loved it Mostly getting around was straight forward with paths lit up at night . Ammalinda is a beautiful place and a fabulous start to our three week trip to Zim , the only slight down side being the catering, plenty of food and good choice and although very tasty we just felt there was something missing . Our trips out into the national park were fantastic. Our guide Kevin an absolute fountain of knowledge showed us everything from Rhino with very small calf , bird life and butterflies, big plants and small plants all incredible. Beautiful walks and cave paintings he very much made our stay , thank you Kevin. Following our activities a relaxing swim in an amazing pool , perfect. Ammalinda is a fabulous lodge , for anyone thinking of visiting Matopos this place must be on the list, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks to Billy and all the great staff for making it so. Best wishes
