Hi Okkie,
I assume you're talking about "Hunters Road"? Was there a few years ago. A very popular spot is Kazuma Pan, but I think you'll have to get there early in the morning to get a nice spot. (S18.37629 E25.51450)
We saw roan antelope, sable and elephants. If you're lucky you can see or hear lions as well.
More to the south is hunting concession area, public not allowed in there, but further north you can bush camp wherever you want. Maybe over December it will not be a problem.
Be careful in the wet season for cotton soil! Mud tyres, diff locks etc are useless in those conditions.
Cheers,
C

Dont want to burst your bubble, maar soos ek verstaan is die hunters road gesluit deur die manne wat die konsessie het.
