Please book with Bwana or RK on 0348 410 4188 Directions: For those who can't remember how to get to Bwana's Hippo Hole, here are some new and improved directions. From Milan: by car, (45 minutes from the beginning of the A8) Take the A8 Autostrada for Varese. Exit at Gazzada, about 2 km before Varese. Bear right out of the exit road and continue round the curve, straight on through traffic lights and on for a few kilometres until you come to the sign for Lozza. The road crosses a bridge and immediately there is a big roundabout. Turn right, taking the first exit off the roundabout, up the hill following signs to Milan. After about two kilometres you see a sign for Castiglione Olona, and there is a big white building on your right with a sign, "Galimberti". Shortly after this you come to a set of traffic lights with the brick built church on the right. Turn left at the lights, taking the road up the hill sign-posted Venegono S. (for Venegono Superiore). (Don't confuse this with Venegono Inferiore which is a few kms further on). Go uphill until you reach the beginning of the village where there is a level crossing. Once over the railway line go through the traffic lights into the main street (the junction is offset so veer right then left.) You see the "Cucciaio d'Argento" Pizzeria on your left and there is a car park on the right. Continue for 200 meters and turn left onto Via Verdi (there is a shrine with a saint on a donkey). Go up the hill taking always the steepest road. It becomes one way and you leave Via Verdi. At the top there is a TJunction. Turn right and park. No 28 is on you right. Ring bell 5 or look for hashers on the top terrace. By train: Take the Ferrovia Nord from Cadorna. There are trains to Venegono Superiore at least every hour, sometimes more often. The journey takes about 55 minutes. Don't get off at Venegono Inferiore, which is the station before Superiore! At the station walk out onto the road where you see the level crossing, and follow the instructions above. Walking you can also short cut by taking the steps "via dei Alpini" on your left before Via Verdi. (after a few meters turn right for more steps and then left at the top) In case of difficulty, Bwana's number is 0348 410 4188 On On Bwana
