 Bambata Cave by sachara
These excavations have uncovered tools and pottery of the first few centuries BC.
Similar finds in Zimbabwe from the same period got also the name Bambata after the name of this cave.
When I'm in a cave with such an old history, I always tried to imagine the life of people thousands of years ago. Leave a Comment

 Hwange NP, first elephant by sachara
They made a lot of waterholes, so there would be also water in the dry season.
In the 1970s there was a population of 20.000 elephants, too many, so they destroyed the area. The amount in the park is reduced to 12.000, acceptable for a good natural balance.
We visited the park in the dry season (July to October). In this period it easy to spot game at the waterholes, where the water is pumped with engines. Leave a Comment Directions: 150 KM east of Victoria Falls

 Great Enclosure by sachara
Often this enclosure is called Great Zimbabwe itself. The enclosure has a elliptical from of 255 M circumference and 100 M across.
The common people lived in huts outside the enclosures. The more important people lived in the enclosures and it's accepted that the Great Enclosure was used as a royal compound and cloister for the king's mother and senior wives of the Shona king.
The influence of the king stretched into the present-day Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa. Leave a Comment

 Karanga Village, witchdoctors by sachara
Walking through the village, two people waved at us. We walked in the direction of their hut. The man and the woman were witch doctors. They could heal us from diseases or could tell something about our future. Because our bus should depart in half an hour, there was too little time left to come in their hut for a consult.
So maybe the next time. Leave a Comment

 village on our way to the
falls by sachara
From Chimanimani you can also visit the Chimanimani Eland Sanctuary & Nyamzure (Pork Pie Hill) and Bridal Veil Falls.
We could camp in the gardens of the or book a room in the Chimanimani Hotel. It is a nice looking colonial hotel with splendid mountain views and delicious food ( 6 courses for less than 5$). There was bar with cheap cocktails and a great fireplace. It was very cold at night, so we appreciated the alcohol and the fire very much. There is one problem: no jeans and females without male escort allowed after 6 pm !!!! Leave a Comment Directions: 150 KM south of Mutare at the border with Mozambique.

 Victoria Falls by sachara
We walked for hours in the Victoria Falls NP. There are many great viewpoints.
For a great overview and to see the falls in all its splendour we made a flight with an helicopter. The most breathtaking experience ever.
For the full story, have a look at my Victoria Falls page. Leave a Comment

 rocks near the Bambata Caves by sachara
The landscape is very scenic with beautifull rocks. On top of the rocks we saw huge round boulders, looking as if they could roll away any moment ..... Leave a Comment
