Leaving Harare was a relief because of the underlying
dangers of a poor city. The first sight of a massive termite hill caused
much interest on this
Guerba Africa tour.The old capital of Great Zimbabwe was fairly interesting. Bulawayo was
fascinating, we strolled through the lively & friendly suburbs and
visited the craft workshops. The first visit to a game reserve was
exciting. The gracefulness of the giraffe was a revelation. We were lucky
to have a close encounter with White Rhinos. The tour then took us to
Botswana.
A major expectation of the
Guerba Africa tour was the visit to Victoria Falls. On leaving
Botswana we drove directly to the busy tourist
town of Victoria Falls. I was privileged to spend some hours virtually on
my own admiring the falls from the jungle park; the area is sensational;
mainly due to the almost virginal state of the area. White water rafting
to it's very extreme resulted in extreme sensations that I would not like
to repeat. Experienced my 1st helicopter flight. Returned Home.
From
Zambia we crossed the
mighty Zambesi river and I returned to Victoria Falls. It was lovely to
return here with Anne. We had a sumptuous meal at the Victoria Falls
hotel. The economy was in near collaspe so there were few tourists and
everything was very cheap. We took a booze cruise on the Zambesi and the
next day I departed for
South Africa on my
own. Anne left for Uganda to do voluntary work.
