Our last full day in HWANGE PARK. Howcould anyone guess we would find a loneHIPPO sleeping in this water hole.Craig had parked the truck hardly 10ft away.He took a bottle, and lightly tapped it under the water. Craig must have know he was in a DEEP-SLEEP! The HIPPO never moved.
We did a half day rafting trip with a company called Shearwater.It was amazing, extraordinary, it's impossible to catch it in words on paper. An experience like this has to be done and not written about or read. I try to catch some of those moment here with you. What does names like "Morning Glory", "Stairway to Heaven" or "Midnight dinner" tell you. Nothing, well these are some of the names of the grade 5 rapids that you pass while you are doing white water rafting with these guys."Morning Glory" will eat you, the "Stairway to Heaven" makes you think that you are invincible and the "Midnight dinner" will chew you up. You don't believe me, well read my Victoria Falls travelogue "Rafting on the roaring Zambezi" or even better when you are in Victoria Falls go to their office and book a rafting trip.You will see it will be one of the best things you ever did in your life.GO FOR IT !!!!.On...

Not many places where you can try to get close to CAPE-BUFFALO and wait for yourplane at the same time!! Just park your ROVER, and GET IN THAT BUSH!!!!!Our plane just went over. Time to go to:MATUSADONA PARK!!
It's great hiking in the CHIZARIRA BUSH! Thegrass is tall, thick bush. Never know what willshow up! You may follow a path or make one!At last some ELEPHANTS! But, one we sawlooked like he was heading right at us! But,because most of the elephants here remember the POACHING, did had to!! He just turned slowly and walked off! We have this park all to ourselfs!!
That 7 mile hike, it was hot. Having a hard time finding wildlife! We went to another watersource! As you can see again. Not much there. There was suposed to be a CROC,but no luck. Everything is so dry now. Just keep walking and BEATING THAT PATH!Thats the fun of it. You never know!!
Zimbabwe, HWANGE-PARK! In the bush there are no paths!! You make your own.Get stuck by a THORN-BUSH along the way!Run into Elephant! Great to get close on foot!!One of my favorite animals: SABLE!! Just beautiful! The horns, some reached thebacks they are so long!
Zimbabwe with a guide named:CRAIG VAN ZYL. He will get you close and safe. We went off the beaten path alright!! We 're gettingready to swing around a huge elephant!! Theelephant with trunk up the tree. He mockedcharged us 2x's!! Craig stood in front of himboth times. We all stood our ground:Reallyfroze in fear!! But Craig did his thing and the elephant walked off calmly! We had otherelephants starting to come around, time towalk back!!Chizarira, very wild looking! Never know whatyou will bump into. We came close to anotherelephant. He was looking right at us. Walkedoff! Even Buffalo, can be very mean!! A herdnear where we had to wait for our plane. We sat and watched back. The Buffalo, just peeking his head up!! Many off the BEATEN PATH in ZIMBABWE!
Is this the road to nowhere? Is this the road to a destination?The only way to find out is taking a bus of rent a car and go your way.When driving aroud you can see beautiful scenery or the nice villages.
Going fishing on the Zambezi river was one of the most exilirating expereiences of my Life. We had a boat , a expereienced river guide , and WOW. Its so awsome to travel on a river that has real crocodiles , hippo's and loads of other wild animals. Was great to find some hot water springs that were so hot we couldn't put our feet into the water(Looked like it was boiling water) And the fishing.. the bird life ,... It was like a savage paradise. (Photo of Sunset on the Zambezi river near Deka )Deka is a river that leads into the Zambezi (near Wanky Coalary) It has a very famous fishing camp is renuned for been one of the best fishing spots on the Zambezi.
