Here I am
Hi everybody, sorry for the long boring one, thought I'd better bring you up to date a little...... I am in Vic Falls, Zimbabwe. Our house is a short walk from the Zambian border, and also the falls themselves. I have been here a couple of weeks ...
Back to the Falls
... on a hill - because of its comforts and location on a golf course. We had stayed here on our second trip to Zimbabwe and we chose a room where we could see the spectacular sunsets. One of the other great things is that wild animals can often ...
Day 5
... of a foot long, nose to tail. We might do a head mount. Our first trip to Harare was fun and interesting yesterday. Zimbabwe was once a British Colony as was Jamaica so there are lots of similarities to me. When we visited Debbie's mom I ...
Back to Zimbabwe
... campsite. It was the last night for many people who left us in Victoria Falls. The following morning we left the beautiful Zimbabwe and headed into Botswana. I have to say, before this trip I was convinced Zimbabwe would be a dodgy place, but having ...
Zimbabwe Bound via Mozambique (With Malawi)
... (first movie/TV in 2 months!) So ridiculous but so fun! This morning we crossed our most intensive border yet: Mozambique to Zimbabwe, and amongst the cholera warning signs we unpacked the truck, got our visas, and carried on. Harare was a bit of a funny ...
DAY 20
DAY 20 Monday, December 27th Head Count! All crocs present and accounted for. First thing this morning the kids filled the tub with water and "bathed" with their crocs. Calvin, Malcolm, Twix and CrocoDillia tried to enjoy their new friends as ...
Hwange to Victoria Falls
We stopped off in Hwange National Park for the day and went on a game drive. It was nice but we did not see as much game as in other parks. However I got to see a crocodile which I have not seen yet (apart from in Australia) and also some hippos out of ...
Cub Viewing - Amanzi
Today we did a cub viewing and saw the most gorgeous 4 month old cub called Amanzi, and we got a sneaky look at 4 baby cubs (Sons of Lulu and Max), they are only 2 months old - have a look at the pictures. During the cub viewing Stuart was brutally ...
Meet the gang!!
... … They had stolen a goat from a local field, slaughtered and eaten it. Stealing livestock is a huge offense here in Zimbabwe and the two guys were caught. Padon was released because of certain circumstances but sadly, Shane was sentenced to 6 months ...
Day 40
Day 40 Sunday, January 16 Well, day 39 didn't turn out as planned. We woke up to another set back with Gran. She developed a pulmonary ambulism (embulism?) in her lung over night. Something like a huge blood clot as I understand ...
Zimbabalooba!
... of his visits. It was great to see development projects in action. I was also very keen to see the Zimbabwean countryside. I wanted to know where all the people were and get a glimpse of the 'real' Zimbabwe! Time was too short. I was very sad to ...
3 hours and i uploaded 4 photo's !!!!!!!
Here goes. Some photos of the three weeks in Zimbabwe should be attached to this entry if i can get the hang of the damn technology ...
Zim, one long road-block
... me and it was good to catch up. They seem to have made it to the other side of the financial crisis in Zimbabwe without being too heavily affected, although in essence people have become trapped there unless they are incredibly wealthy or have help from ...
Day 8 or is it 9?
THURSDAY December 16 WOW! What a drive! This is a beautiful Country! I'm sitting on Debbie's Lake Kariba island watching the sun rise, listening to the hippos snort. Word has it that four people have been eaten by a croc this month (to ...
Day 10 I think?
FRIDAY December 17 Ten Bull Elephants! Remind me to tell you the story! I do have some frightfully up close and personal photos to post when I can! We got the boat, took a swim at the marina's pool and watched hippos and crocs from the ...

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. ...
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 ...
Bird Watchers Paradise
We headed off from Gorongosa towards the Zimbabwe border crossing with a little in-trepidation based on the earlier media reports in Australia.. we got to Chimonio to fill up and get supplies as we were under the impression things are had to get in Zim, ...
Week with papa J
Apart from the coaches workshop and opening day, Papa J and I also got up to a few different things while he was here for the week which included... Getting hoops for the Silozwe court, sourcing the site, visiting Antelope Park and making friends with a ...
