    Once the road network is sorted out….. the back of the park up in the range is amazing… spectacular views….

    Great national park. Zim is blessed. Contrast this place to other national parks like Gonarezhou, Matopos and Vumba/ Chimanimani and you will see how diverse Zim topography is.
    Thanks for the work you are doing my Bro

      We were just in time to avoid the worst of the rainy season. I would definitely recommend dry season though 😄 I'm glad they're working on these parks, there really are some amazing places in Zim.

    We drove the Road Binga to Karoi >> First did Chizzarira and then Down to Matusadonna Landy Defender towing a heavy 4x4 Trailer >> Tashinga was magic Aug 1999 when the road was really bad... Hectic Dry River Crossing at thre bottom >> Landy Towed us out Perfectly. We carried our Fuel in Jerry Cans on the roof >> Aug is the Best time to go to the bush anywhere from Kruger to Etosha to Matusadonna .. The Road in your Video looks like the Nicol Highway Bryanston Sandton compared to when we did it. Lots of road making by us to make further progress down and up. We were the ONLY residents in camp for 9 days apart from 'No Nine' the Camp attendant who brought us a wheelbarrow of wood every night. My then 2 young Teen Boys Loved it. Hope you stayed at Tiger Safaris at Chirundu >> after staing there downstream from Chirundu we went to Mana Pools

      Wow! That sounds like it was quite an experience. Africa Parks is doing a really good job of restoring the park based on what we saw and our interactions there.
      Would love to do this trip in the dryer part of the year, but unfortunately not possible for us. We'll be heading to Gonarezhou though in the dry months, really looking forward to that.

      Definitely worth visiting, especially now that the road has been improved. I will go back if I can at some point in the future.

      Those roads are quite 'interesting' after the rain 😁 But certainly worth the effort.

    Of all your posts I enjoyed this one the most. I can associate with your feelings of being deeply connected to a place like this. This was a combination of adventure and stress replaced by great inner peace and then it seems the corruption of the human soul shows its ugliness in the worst possible way.

    That storm looked rough! Did the inside of the tent stay dry?

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  2 года назад +1

      Hardly any water got into the tent. A minor dribble along one of the corner seams. Nothing of significance really. The tent really has shown it's mettle. There was water getting under the tent too, so the floor was bubbling up, but no water got in.
