Still batting a thousand
... Vic Falls at 13.00 the same day after 3 flights with 3 different airlines (Kilimanjaro - Nairobi; Nairobi - Harare; Harare - Vic Falls), BUT, the last flight (Zimbabwe Airlines) was moved from 12.00 to 9.00 - an hour before we were to arrive from ...

Day 13 - Easter Sunday - With Family
... on the outskirts, but the Arcturus Road which we drove down was atrocious with the pot holes. The roads here in Harare are shocking. They are full of pot holes, the road signs are falling down, no street signs and only about one in ...
First stop in our last country
We stopped off in Harare on the way to our first Zimbabwe campsite. We did a spot of shopping... ever since the hyper inflation which caused the local currency to crash, US dollars have been used. Oasis overland did stop going to Zimbabwe for a while but ...
Day 18 - Last day in Zimbabwe
... flight from Joburg to Cape Town says we can only have 20 kg, and I know that we are all certainly more than that. I think Harare to Joburg is 32 kg on SAA. We met Tammy and Billy for dinner at Spur again. With it being at the hotel, we ...
Day 12 - Tammy's Wedding
We have been having such wonderful weather here in Harare, and woke up to another beautiful day. Ash still needed to buy her shoes, so Tim, Ash and I went into a deserted city centre hoping against hope that one or two shops were ...

... fuel supplies, have some steering joints fixed on Gemma’s car and Arthur got his first taste of driving around in Harare traffic and it’s a real experience. Traffic lights which display red and green simultaneously, deeply potholed roads, odd ...
Relaxing in Harare
Sunday 15th. Very late sleep in and breakfast, before setting off on more Harare explorations. This time to a different more up market area, where we bought some more local trinkets and the girls could have a bit of cafe experience. This time bought some ...
Slowly winding up the trip
Friday 27th. Slowly winding up the trip today as Gemma and Maree head of for a maasage and more shopping. It's a genetic thing, sex linked to the X chromosome, while I catch up on the blog writing and some reading. Tomorow head back to Aus. after a ...

Highs and lows in Harare
Monday 16th. Today we've spent more time discovering Harare. Driving around the city taking in the bigger scene. Again the two words that hit you fully in the face are "contrasts and contradictions", in a city and country with so much obvious potential ...
back in Harare
Thursday 26th. Off craft shopping again in Harare and could seriously spend a lot of time (and money) doing this. The art work and antiques were plentiful but no good buying too much to transport back to Aus. Late in the afternoon and into the evening ...
We are here!!!!
... I decided to make the best of it by watching movies, studying and standing up from time to time to stretch my legs. I do not remember the flight from Ethiopia to Harare as I was sleep the entire time. So that 3 hour flight passed fast. Welcome to ...
Zimbabwe and Lake Kariba
Went to Zimbabwe with a Southafrican friend on a fishing trip to Lake Kariba. Landed in Harare where my friend and his wife (both originally from Zimbabwe) picked me up. A 4-5 hours car ride northwest up to Lake Kariba. We stayed for a couple of nights at ...
Africa Bike Trip 1996 - Part IX
Reaching Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, I recharged my batteries in earnest: KFC, Diet Coke, foreign chocolate and they took credit cards!!! Rejuvenated, I left Harare, but still felt as if I was breathing through a coffee stirrer filled with the gel that ...
Throw Momma from the train...
... use them a bit, must make our western ways seem a bit perfunctory, if not slightly rude. So we have now crossed into Zimbabwe across the Kariba dam, which you may recall displaced our community (or its forefathers), to Gwembe in the first place. Our first ...
Pig's Feet, Red Dirt and Grape Soda
... when it comes to white folks but the tension that you would expect just doesn't seem to exist. My arrival in Zimbabwe's capital of Harare provides the perfect example. I came into Harare with an address for a place to stay but no map or guidebook ...
Harare – a little domesticity
A proper house with real DSTV? – the boys question when we told them we were staying in Harare for a couple of days! We managed to squeeze SB through the gate and that's where she stayed whilst she was emptied and spring cleaned for the next three ...

The 1st 872km from Harare - Vic Falls
Managed to get away at 5:15am and out of Harare before any traffic. The truck was going well but did not seem to want to get over 62km/h. Just before Chegutu at around 98km, I stopped and checked all the wheel nuts. I texted Muzza about the speed thing ...
