Zimbabwe is full of cute little animals. This is not one of them.

You will not get bridges over the rivers.



Breakfast - click for larger version

But they know some super breakfast stops.



Bush-walking - click for larger version Walking with a professional guide

This is expensive and you will see less game than by viewing from vehicles, but the experience will be richer.

Here we have got the gun, but we are still giving a pair of elderly Cape Buffalo a wide berth.

This is a set of photos - no diary was kept during 1989.

To keep the file sizes reasonable for downloading speed I have used a 200-pixel image. If you are interested in a particular image, assuming it has a blue or mauve border around it, you can click on the image and you will see the 600-pixel version of it. (Images without a border do not have a 600-pixel version available)

When you have finished looking at the big version, you need to click on the "back" button in the browser menu to return to where you were previously.
