Hi...this time something about Zim, another country which unfortunately has the wrong reputation here in Europe, once the bread basket of Africa, now merely surviving, destroyed and annihilated by the "Hitler of Africa" - Robert Mugabe. A lot of Whites lost their farms, often under very brutal circumstances - and yet...we love it there, so much that we have done 4 trips here and found good friends. Zim is like our 2nd home in Africa!
This year we even took part in a 4x4 trial in Harare, organized by our friends of the 4x4 Club Zim.:
life in the bush...collecting wood, baking bread and so on
Once those tobacco auctions were stuffed with tobacco bundles, nowadays unfortunately only a little part of these big halls are used - but we still found it quite impressive.
Mana Pools National Park...it came even with a tyre change because of finger long thorns on a track. It´s one of our favourite NPs in Africa, right next to the mighty Zambezi with lost of wildlife and even a permission to leave the car and walk on foot..
This year we visited a Tonga village, this is a tribe in the North of Zim which goot resettled when Kariba Dam was built. The elder women smoke waterpipes made out of kalabashes.
