Come visit us in Komatipoort, it's only 25min with a trike from Malelane(along N4). You can fly all along the Croc river from Kaapmuiden to Komatipoort(1hr). We can arrange fuel at Komati if you want. If you ask nice we might even have a cup of coffee ready :wink:

Pyramid IS a great (the best) venue for this trip but if it is full there is not much that can be done.

It comes down to long weekend vs Pyramid as a venue.

Option 1: Same area but stay at Numbi @ R425 b&b per person sharing for a room or R150 per night for camping site.
Option 2: Round trip suggestion: Microland to Anford, Pyramid, Numbi, Hippo Pools, The Ranch, Inkwe, Kunkuru and back to Microland. Overnight destinations TBD.
Option 3: Move the date to a "normal" weekend.
