At the Caves

The Sleeping Pool - unbelievably deep blue still water reflecting how deep this pool is.
Legend has it that many, many years ago a local outlaw called Nyamakwere used to catch villagers and throw them in this deep, deep pool of water. The notorious outloaw was eventually defeated and killed by the local chief.
 This is a cave system made up of limestone and dolomite with numerous tunnels and caverns.  It is very impressive with lots of stalactites and stalamites and bats twittering from the stone walls.
