plenty of wood. Some have sleeping platforms (no mattresses); in others you just sleep on
the floor. You provide your own food, cooking gear, candles, sleeping bag and stove (al-
though you can cook on the fire). A caretaker chops wood, lights fires and brings water,
for which a small tip should be paid.
Payments must be made at Likhubula Forestry Office - show your receipt to the hut
caretaker. Camping is permitted near the huts when there are no more beds.
