      How to find the site: From Lusaka at the Zambia National Camp, turn right onto the dirt road. Or from Kabwe, pass the railway line in the direction of Lusaka. Travel 14.2km further along the road and pass Munungushi Motel on the right. Just as you see 2NC, turn left off the main road and go over the railway line. Proceed straight towards east, after some distance pass a small bridge close to a small settlement and then another further down the road. Pass fields and at 12km from the railway crossing, the farmstead is on the hill.
