Lovely shot of the pool. Is it salt water? I remember the pool at our accommodation in Fish Hoek was salt water (20+ years ago), which was my first experience of it and I thought was a great idea!
When it is really hot in Summer even the Mediterranean Sea is warm so no wonder Harry felt the water hot. But sitting or lying down in the shade with a good book and a Tequila by your side Could be magnificent to spend some time. You are staying in a lovely area. Enjoy while it lasts.
This lodge looks so inviting. When I visited in 2014, we stayed at a safari lodge called Vuyani, near Kruger park. It was a fantastic experience, especially the wildlife drives. You’re lucky to have these practically at your doorstep.
