The baobabs are the most intriguing trees in Africa for me. I like their forms with their thick trunks and roots-like branches.
There are a lot of myths about the baobabs.
One story tells how the creator, angry with the baobab, pulled it out and flung it back in the earth headfirst.
The baobab is one of the great symbols of Africa. When I see baobabs I'm back in Africa. Leave a Comment

This was the most impressive baobab we saw during our trip to Zimbabwe, Malawi and Botswana.
So we stopped the bus and everybody went out to make the same picture of this wonderful tree.
Baobabs live for a long time, often for millennia. They grow fast for the first 270 years and then slow down. Trees with a circumference of over 30 M can be 4000 years old. Leave a Comment

I didn't visit a country, if I didn't meet its people.
Our stay in the village Rukweza was very special, to see the daily life in the village. The people were very friendly. When I left my camera at a stone in the centre of the village, children brought it back to the house were we slept that night.
But everywhere, in towns, in parks, at markets, along the road I met very friendly people. Leave a Comment

Our first attention during our visit to Zimbabwe went to the wildlife and elephants, but everywhere we walked, we saw also a lot of beautiful flora, like flowering trees. I don't know much about the flora at the African continent, so I bought a guide the last week to learn more.
The aloe plants all around Great Zimbabwe looked very special. Leave a Comment

If you like to go to the mountains it is nice to visit the Eastern Highlands with heights between the 1200 and 1500 M
The Chimanimani NP in the southern part of the eastern Highlands near the border with Mozambique has peaks of more than 2.000 M and is a paradise for hiking. You can make a day trip or even 5 days wilderness treks. Leave a Comment

One of the things you have to do, when you are in Zimbabwe, is visiting the National Parks.
Some are good for game viewing like the Hwange NP and parts of the Matobo National NP.
Others are worth to visit because of the natural beauty of the landscape, like Chimanimani NP for the mountains and Victoria Falls NP for the falls. Leave a Comment

I like it to learn something about the culture of a country by reading books of its authors, to visit cultural museums or galleries or to attend performances.
In Victoria Falls we saw a very good performance of spectacular Makeshi dances with intriguing masks. Every mask represented a specific character. Leave a Comment

In Zimbabwe are a lot of museums and reconstructed villages to visit, to taste and learn something of about the rich history and local customs of the country
So we visited the Karanga village in Great Zimbabwe and Falls Craft Village in Victoria Falls. In Great Zimbabwe we visited also the museum. Leave a Comment

Being you can get out on foot in ZIMBABWE.

It may be a little more money. But if you can
do your safaris by taking a plane from park
to park. From VIC FALLS, it was only a 2 hour
ride to HWANGE PARK. That we did. But,
from there to CHIZARIRA PARK we took a plane. The place was so dry. We had a good
shot at some ELEPHANTS already!!
It's elephants in the WILD!! Leave a Comment
