| Max William"Bumi" Woodman |
"Tom Woodman and Kath were with you in December. They have just had a son whose name during these 9 months has been BUMI - you have guessed!! That is where he was conceived!! Bumi is 7 days old today - he arrived 4 weeks early! I am going to London to meet this little boy on Friday.
Tom has asked me to find out the meaning of BUMI please!? (OUR NEXT BLOG POST ANSWERS THIS QUESTION)
He does have a "real" name - Max William - but I am convinced that he will always be Bumi to us, his close family!
Best wishes,
Bonny"

| Kath's tummy not long before the arrival of Bumi |
When Tom and Kath came to Bumi last year Tom had secretly planned that this would be the place to pop the question. They went out fishing and he arranged with our guide Madison to attach the engagement ring to Kath's hook on the end of the line on her rod. Whilst they were on the boat they saw a pair of Fish Eagles and Madison explained that Fish Eagles mate for life. Just after that Kath reeled in and as she discovered the ring, Tom on bended knee asked her "Will you be my Fish Eagle?" The rest of the story is self explanatory!

Tom and Kath all at Bumi Hills are flattered and touched by this story! We extend our warmest CONGRATULATIONS to you both and welcome you as part of the Bumi Family. We cannot wait for you to come back to the lodge so that we can introduce BUMI to BUMI and spoil all three of you with special treats! Please stay closely in touch!
Our warmest wishes from
The Whole Team at Bumi Hills!

As a fellow Rhodie/Zimbo, I am so proud to see great things are still conceived in my home country. Having grown up with Tom Woodman... I know how good his knowledge of great places in Zimbabwe is. I now look forward to visiting Bumi Hills one day soon - and I look forward to coming home!! Congratulations again!!
Hi Sam! Thanks for your great comments here. We'd love to see you at Bumi and welcome you back home!
Amazingly I sent this blog to my wife a week ago and yesterday when in hospital waiting for my own son to be born in walks the very same Tom Woodman asking about my Southern African Accent. He was brilliant at calming the nerves of my wife and I and is going to make a fantastic doctor.
Thank you so much Tom you were a godsend to us.
Please have a look at my own blog for more details
