A wonder of the world off the list
... nbsp; We bought a few things in the market because it was so cheap. There were even people trying to sell the old Zimbabwe currency. You can by a one trillion-dollar note for 1USD. Too bad that they are not worth anything anymore. ...
Site archeologique
Il y a bien des ruines en Afrique. Voici, la plus connue celle du grand Zimbabwe qui a donné le nom au pays ainsi que l'emblème qui se trouve sur le drapeau du pays. Le site est impressionnant même si beaucoup de spéculation entour ce dernier. ...
En route vers le zimbabwe
Le voyage au Mozambique est pénible non à cause de la chaleur (c'est l'hiver), ni a cause des bus (assez moderne même si on est un peu entassé) mais à cause de l'heure matinale des départs pour les bus longues distances. Ainsi, les départs se font ...
The teacher becomes the student!
... put through some pretty vigorous sessions every morning…. I was so impressed with everyone because they didn’t let the intense Zimbabwe summer heat stop them from jumping right into the drills (when I say heat I am talk 40 degrees Celsius and ...
saindo de mocambique
Meu caminho de saida de mocambique foi aproveitando para passar por cidades onde haviam amigos. Sem duvida esse foi o melhor aspecto da volta. Entre outras coisas porque muitas dessas pessoas que achava que nao ia poder ver mais. Por isso mesmo, por nao ...
Zimbabwe
... the side of the road, desperately trying to get to work and of course the odd wandering goat and cow. However, despite Zimbabwe's tragic state I definitely didn't feel any strong atmosphere of depression, it was by no means a miserable place to be. ...
White-knuckle rafting on Zambezi's white-water
Ahead of us lies the most fearsome monster we've yet encountered. More fearsome than a lion, more powerful than an elephant, more crazy than a hyena, more unpredictable than a hippo. Here we were, two hopeless and defenceless tourists putting our ...
Time to say goodbye
... some local beer. Said cheerio to Dom, who along with Bert joins a new Kamuka tour group to continue their trip through Zimbabwe, Mozambique and back into Johannesburg in time for Christmas. In the evening we joined Lara and family, Glen, Grant and ...

Victoria Falls and Beyond
... but it was absolutely hilarious. Probably not to you but its making me laugh just relaying this and i want to set the scene of Zimbabwe to you! So back to Matopas National Park. This is just outside the City of Bulawayo and is home to many Rhinos. So ...
Amazing, amazing eastern highlands of Zimbabwe

Day 14
... Picture the little island on Disney's Jungle ride. Its a little bigger and a little farther from shore. Saidi had a delicious cottage pie (a British version of a shepherds pie) waiting for us. It was another great day in Zimbabwe! ...
Zimbabwe - what a people and what a country!!!
... scene than I am used to though, people are the same whereever you go. That is something I have learned over and over again. They just want to be happy, make a decent living for themselves and be social animals. Norway, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, all the ...
Zimbabwe Part 1
... animals. There was a point where we stopped and everyone jumped off the roof of the boat but I was afraid of drowning in Zimbabwe so I passed. I also think there were bed bugs in the beds on that boat which could be bad because I will carry them ...
A 'rest' at Vic Falls
... over the edge of the gorge. The Mighty Zambezi, having started in Angola, wends it's way across Africa passing through Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi before finding the sea in Mozambique. We didn't go to see the falls from the Zambia side (the Zambezi ...
DAY 21
Just a quick note as we head of the Island at Kariba! WE had such a huge day on the water yesterday. And a beautiful breakfast at a REMOTE lodge called Spurwing in the middle of Kariba. Found a dead hippo and stole his teeth. ...
Day 29
Day 29 Wednesday, January 5, 2011 I stayed at the farm yesterday and enjoyed a relaxing day around the lodge. Ken and I and the kids went on a little hike. We found a stem filled with Flame Lillies. A bright red lily that grows only in ...

DAY 6 TUESDAY December 14th Today will be a busy day packing for our two week trip to Lake Kariba. We will be staying in what Debbie's mum calls their "fishing shack" on a small island. I know it has three bedrooms, a bath and electricity so ...
Rhino's in the rain
... our attempt to see the remaining wildlife that we have missed so far in Africa. Trying to find Rhino's on yet another rainy Zimbabwe afternoon, just drizzly mind... is no mean feat and with the woodland growing at an alarming rate that you can only see a ...
This is freaky must see!!
Hopefully we have not bored you all with these picture but taking two 11 month old lion cubs out for their evening walk adds a totally surreal dimension to a Sunday afternoon stroll. The pictures really speak for themselves, we were both blown away by ...

Home sweet home...
It has been over two months since I first arrived in Zimbabwe and just like Cape Town, I am feeling right at home! It is now a norm to rise at the crack of dawn and be in bed before most 10-year-old kids… It is a norm eating sadza (maize meal dish) ...
Desperate Times...
It is 5am and I have been up since 3.30am.... Reason for my early rise.... Internet!!! I am so rural that I might have the opportunity to venture into town once or twice a week to connect to the outside world... this morning is one of those days! We are ...

The falls of Zimbabwe
