- Kufunda Learning VillageThe bus slowed to a stop less than a minute after crossing the border to let the elephant cross the road. The locals stood up and smiled, showing their pride in the wildlife and landscape the country is blessed with. Posted by YoniOsteen in The World is My Home | Jan 30, 2012
- Rainbows and Rapids(Keely typing ….) Everyone had been looking forward to our stop in Victoria Falls; the prospect of 3 stationary days, and some much sought after free time. No driving, lots of drinking and a multitude of extreme activities for the Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 22, 2012
- Day 105 – Into MozambiqueWe arrived at Quest resigned to finding out how much trouble we were really in; we entered like children queuing to find out exam results. As we pulled in, the guys appeared. We greeted Lovemore again and five or six Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 18, 2012
- Can’t believe how close we are to that Rhino!The sign on the Park gate said: “stay in the jeep at all times”, “firearms forbidden”, “exit by 6pm”, “no open top jeeps” and “always stick to the tracks”. We broke all the rules and wow! what a great Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 13, 2012
- Day 104 – Gold ‘n Gears By the end of the day we wanted to be in Zimbabwe’s third largest city, the border city of Mutare. Given that we had some philandering to do in Chimanimani, I wanted to be done and out as quickly as Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 10, 2012
- Day 103 – Waterfalls and Gold Dust Early to bed, early to rise. We’d closed our eyes at half past eight now we were up to see the rising sun and head out for a morning view over Skeleton Pass into Mozambique. On our way we passed Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 10, 2012
- Day 101 – Mount Binga The alarm rang out at six o’clock. We had a mountain to climb. As we‘d fallen asleep we’d had second thoughts about leaving Redvers parked alone in the National Park whilst we walked for three days. Especially now the entire Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 10, 2012
- Lions, lions and more lions!Antelope Park is hard to describe. Part private game reserve, part commercial enterprise, part conservation giant? Two people set out, in 1999 to create and maintain a programme that would eventually see lions re-introduced into the wild; a Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 9, 2012
- Zimbabwe here we come!Our last day in Malawi was spent snorkelling: which was cool as the lake is fresh water and all our other snorkelling has been over coral. The rocky island just off shore provided the perfect environment for an hour Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Jan 9, 2012
- Day 100 – Procuring Guides Arriving at our lodge the previous night we were little unsure as to what we should expect for twenty dollars each per night. Delight filled us from head to toe as we walked in to a four bedroom, thatched lodge Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 99 – Who’s going to Chicken Inn?The first thing to do was take another spin around the ruins and take some pictures whilst the rain was only light. From there we headed out to the craft market, after a minor debacle trying to chase my four Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 98 – The Very Wet Great Zimbabwe Ruins Sheets of water were cascading down the windscreen as we drove slowly to our camp site spot at the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, 24 kilometres outside of Masvingo. The lightning had knocked out the water pump and since we had only Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 97 – Have we forgotten anything? And HenryThe prop shaft was replaced first thing and a test drive revealed that the squeak was gone! Oh yeah. We indulgently patted each other on the back, we were genii. On the way out of Harare we needed a new Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 96 – ‘Experienced Mechanics’Up and at ‘em; we had things to do and places to see. One of the cleaning ladies offered to do our washing for a lot cheaper than the backpackers charged. Somers paid her ten dollars and gave her a Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 95 – Redvers AnniversaryTwo minutes before we awoke I was still dreaming of moored canoes and hippos splashing in the river. But no more, today we would see if four days convalescence had improved Redvers’ squeak. We wanted to see the Kariba Dam Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 91-94 – Four Days and a Thousand HipposDr Jonny Cave, surgical hero, had insisted that the canoe trip from Chirundu into Mana Pools National Park would be the highlight of our trip. Somers’ extensive telephonic chasing had ensured that we were on board this expedition. We awoke Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 90 – Into KaribaThe nights’ sleep was never going to be a particularly good one; perched on a seventies wire deck chair with the stars sailing by. We were up just after four and stood looking out over the starboard side as the Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 89 – Ferry ‘cross the Kariba We were up and at ‘em early doors. Our ferry was leaving at nine and we had to be ready, wildlife permits and tickets in hand, and in line by eight. All this preparation and rising at sparrows to get Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 88 – ‘Christmas Box’After such a sweet game drive it was time to see if Redvers would step up to the plate. As a car doctor I’d essentially given him antibiotics and sent him off, knowing it probably wasn’t going to fix him. Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 85 -88 – Squeaking Around Hwange Police engagements seven, eight and nine happened over a 28 kilometre stretch south from Victoria Falls. License and temporary import paper examinations and vehicle inspections followed, but, no bribes. The nature of Zimbabwes’ past decade and the storie Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 84 – Finding Ferries Our plans for a twenty two hour ferry journey along Lake Kariba sank when we found out that although the ferry was running, (very exciting news as we were unsure if it still existed,) it was fully booked and there Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- Day 83 – To the falls and Mama Africa Victoria Falls is a tourist town built at Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side of the Zambezi. We’d pulled into Shoestrings backpackers the previous afternoon. We’d made straight for the pool and had an impromptu game of volleyball with a Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Jan 5, 2012
- 9. A wild encounter or two... We cross over into Zimbabwe on 15 July after one of the longest border crossings yet, unsure what to expect. First impressions are good – everyone’s waving at us again. After a few hours we arrive into Harare Posted by Jayne Breckon in Jayne's travel blog | Sep 2, 2011
- Travelling Zimbabwe and Vic Falls Part IIMan oh man. Getting around Africa has been interesting (and very tough at times). Unless you want to pay a small fortune for private transfers, you are stuck with local transportation, which can inexplicably range from easy-peasy to Posted by geldere in The Hostel Honeymoon | Aug 20, 2011
