Magical Motobo! - It's a fascinating place, full of history, rhinos and bonkers rocks. It would be even better if the roads could be repaired so that more of the caves could be explored - a 4x4 would also help. My guide, Thembo, did his best to make sure I saw everything, and that included hauling me up some of the more difficult rocks! He was also very knowledgeable and interesting. A great day.
