Bulawayo Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Time to leave Vic Falls. Up around 6.30 - no hot water so skipped the shower part and got straight into packing up. Oh the joys. I HATE packing up the locker. That and cook group although Suze, Sarah and I do have a good laugh. The cooking parts fine, it's the shopping I dislike, especially when the choice is minimal. Can't wait to be able to bu...

Ian is quite possibly the tallest and skinniest man we have ever met, but somehow he has managed to muster up the courage to spend his entire life "playing" with Rhinos in the Zimbabwe bush. He is an expert in the Bushmen and Zim history. His family had been in Zim since the 1890's, or according to him "pretty much since the first people came ov...

Danayi and her family had planned a trip to Lake Kariba in northern Zimbabwe, and it was time for me to get to Victoria Falls. Since I was a small child, there were three images that consistently danced through my head when I though of Africa. One was of deep, dark jungles where trees bent towards dark rivers covered in mossy vines, and eyes pee...

After Eastern Highlands, I travelled west to Bulawayo. Very historical city, central in the colonialisation back around 1890. Nicy city, the 2nd biggest after Harare. Wide avenues, wide enough for 12 oxes to turn. That was the criteria. Also went to the National Gallery, where I happened to stumble onto a film festival. My Mother the Mermaid, a ...

We were up at 06.30 and on the road by 07.30. I had a **** sleep as I was on the hard ground! We found the culprit who had two mattresses... it was Baindu the American girl, and to top it off... she didn't even apologise! Our first destination was a place called "The Great Zimbabwe". This place was the birthplace of the modern day Zimbabwe and i...

He Said: Tuesday we took a night train south to the city of Bulawayo. It was an uneventful ride except for the fact that the lights in our sleeper compartment didn't work, so we occupied out time watching old episodes "The Office" on the computer. Bulawayo was a bit of a surprise, as it looked pretty much like a large Midwest American city in 19...

Greetings from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. This update finds your heroes in a tricky position. In order to escape our truck friends for a couple of days we have had to cross a border - Zambia to Zimbabwe - and travel 500 kms while relying on the hospitality of someone who doesn't really want us there (Uncle Bob Mugabe). What makes us think they don't wa...

I am now officaially a millionaire - a Zimbabwe millionaire that is. The unofficial exchange rate is 6500 Zim dollars per US dollar so I am now used to buying diet cokes for 5000 dollars. This is due to super inflation. Beers at our first campsite were 30 Zim dollars just 4 years ago - now they cost 7500 Zim dollars. From the capital of Harare, ...

We were here at a camp for one week of debriefing. We met up with the "Safari South" team for a time of classes and fun as we wound down from our summer experiences. It was fun to dress up at the end of the week for our farewell banquet - we broke out all the African clothes we could muster.
