Favorite thing: For some reason there are not a lot of mosquitos around. A lot of people told me that, and I wasn't quite sure how true it would be, but I might have only seen 2 or 3 mosquitos the entire time I was there. Maybe it was because I was there in the winter, maybe not. Either way it made for a nice bonus in being there.

Favorite thing: Lake Kariba is worth visiting. You should make a 2 or 3 days cruise on a houseboat.
You see the ghostly skeletal trees etched in the water and at the background the Matusadona Hills.
Further more there is a very varied wildlife.
