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

Overview of Harare
The best way to see Harare used to be from a glider. Sadly the Warren Hills club has now been closed down for a housing development.
For the earthbound, an "emergency taxi" is the best way get around.
The local "Mountaineering Club" organises weekend walks.
Keep off the grass
You may find it a little different from walking at home.
You will have an opportunity to see the vast stone balls which are common in Zimbabwe
There are bushman paintings in the area, from the time when they lived here.
The local wildlife is interesting.
During long weekends the Mountaineering Club also organise some multi-day treks.
You will not get bridges over the rivers.
But they know some super breakfast stops.
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.
Sometimes you get the feeling that you are being watched.
Here he comes!
No one to move a muscle!
There! He is a decent elephant. He wouldn't really kill us.

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.
