Seeing the Falls, seeing our first leopards, a pair hunting together at night getting very close to catching an Impala (thrilling) and the whole laid back, slightly hippy vibe of Kaya Mawa which is very different to normal upscale tropical resorts with no fences or gates, locals mixing with guests on the beach, no locking doors or windows - wonderful.

See comments above. It's not like a typical Caribbean or Indian Ocean resort with manicured lawns, expensive boutiques and loads of air conditioning. It's more like a guest house for a bygone era. And the food is amazing. The queasily would not be out of place Ina top London restaurant, but it's on an island that relies for an aged weekly tramp steamer for supplies. Incredible.
