Amazing, amazing eastern highlands of Zimbabwe
... at Hivu Nursery, as well as her daughter. Learnt a lot about the hardship they are facing, and also about the history of Zimbabwe the last 20 years. I gave a donation to her and her family, hoping that it might help getting the daughters educated. Note ...
Guest Coaches
So it has been over 6 months now that I have been working with the local youth here in Gulati and well, seeing my face everyday has to be getting a little repetitive (I know I would be sick of myself!!). In October we had Sarah and Vicky from Ireland ...

... 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 ...
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
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 ...
Return to Harare
Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe and its largest city with about two million inhabitants. Arriving at the Meikles for our third stay there was like returning home. The comforts of the hotel and the delicious foods ...
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 ...
Dr Livingstone, I Presume
... trinket sellers were out in full force as we walked along, trying to sell us the ubiquitous carvings and old Zimbabwe currency - i.e. $1 trillion dollar notes. (Due to the outrageous inflation of the Zimbabwean money, the currency of Zimbabwe is now the ...
Juliasdale
Next morning the world champion of car packing Amy made Little Red ready for the trip to Zimbabwe. Cecilie and I each had plenty of room in back even though we could not actually see eachother. After a good breakfast we were on the road - for about 100 ...

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
... repeatedly... but it's easy to understand to why when you're stood in front of it with it's deafening roar. It's probably Zimbabwe's biggest highlight and rightly so but coming to this part of the world isn't just about the waterfall. We only spent one ...
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 ...

Matobo, Matopo ou Matopos?

Vic Falls
... drinks were included so once it started raining, it turned into a booze cruise--nothing wrong with that! I saw the falls from the Zimbabwe side and got completely drenched from the spray, but it was beautiful! When there is a full moon you can see a ...
Near death experiences!
Crossed the boarder to Zim the day after the booze cruise feeling slightly rough and not really knowing what to expect given the diabolical political situation there. Everyone was excited though as this is activity central and we all ...
Victoria Falls
... river rafting on the Nile (Uganda) and bungee jumping at Victoria Falls, so after seeing the falls we went out on the bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia to do the jump. We hadn't talked an awful lot about taking the jump or how scary it would be. This ...
