Yes, the course is quite flat, very minimalist.
I got stranded in Zimbabwe, so ended up staying at Elephant Hills the night after taking these pictures. The resort is still impressive, lacking business though, quite a lot of people are waiting to see the results of the elections. Prices are not as cheap as South Africa, still not too expensive, the main source of foreign currency is tourism, so visitors are expected to pay in foreign currency.
I went rafting on the Zambesi above the falls, there has been a lot of rain in Southern Africa since december, so the water level was too high for white water rafting which I really wanted to do.
As for wildlife roaming around the hotels, I saw mainly warthog (much nicer then pork), buffallo, impala no elephants or giraffe.
I haw quite a few friends from Harare and they talk highly about Royal Harare, redone by Nick Price in 97, and Chapman. Leopard Park in Mutare gets good reviews as well. Hopefully, will get to play them at some stage.
