Many years ago I organised a diving trip to Sodwana with a few nights at a new reserve that had opened up. This was Phinda at a time when it was still possible to afford what has become a rare privilege. And after all the intervening time the one impression, the only lasting impression I came away with was the clearing, cutting and rehabilitating that was taking place. It was powerful stuff. A huge undertaking, a daunting task. But nonetheless one that was addressed and I assume one that has since changed the face of a tiny corner of Africa.
