As much as I love your travels adventures and lifestyle the skyline was something else I can’t even go up my daughters stairs without getting a nose bleed😂but I was very brave and listened to you the animals melted my heart you are an amazing family well done John I commend you on your bravery ❤️
Hi Sheila! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. John almost certainly had a nosebleed on that bridge too 😂😂😂. The giraffe was epic we have been so luck this week. Thanks so much for watching friend. 🦒🙏❤️🐘
This bloke was in actual tears of laughter and admiration for that bloke showing and conquering his fear of heights.. Great video guys thank you!
Ha!! Thanks so much Mr O, that’s such a cool thought. Have a great week friend 😊
Congratulations Jon, overcoming your fear! Incredible experience walking high above! Love the work of these angels saving these animals. I’ve never known of a Pangolin. They are beautiful, remind me of Armadillos. Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful video! ~Cara 😊
Hi Cara and John. Thanks for always leaving us a comment it is so appreciated. Pangolins are super cool, and the elephant sanctuary was a real privilege to visit. Finger crossed for Botswana. Next week. 🤞🙏🐘🦒
Truly spectacular guys! My favorite part was one Caruso hugged and kissed his mom❣
Hi Tori52! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Our favourite part is when Crusoe gives a kiss and a hug too! ❤️🐘🦒🙏
Your such a beautiful family . Well done John on the bridge crossing that awesome. I look forward to watching your videos every week and filled up at the end with the elephants ect.. amazing 👏
Hi Heidi! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! We LOVE elephants!! John was terrified by that bridge, but we stand by our thoughts that it’s important to be brave. Phew!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍❤️🐘🙏
Stunning adventure from the sunrise, to the chameleon to all the animal, absolutely epic! thank you for sharing the amazing project at Wild is Life x what a special place Africa is ♥️✨
Hi Anouk!! Thanks as always for your support and for watching. What a week we have had!! Wild is life is such a cool project we were so pleased to have visited. See you next week friend. 🐘👍🙏❤️
I have to say that despite how spectacular it was, there is no way I could have done that walkway. Made me feel sick just watching! But what another marvelous video. Thanks so much for sharing 🥰
Hi Julie, TERRIFIED, that’s what John will tell you, he had true jelly legs!! 😂😂 thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🦒❤️❤️
@@TheNewbys it’s my pleasure to be watching your fabulous journey from here in winter Devon and I’m very glad to have found your site. I have to say that John is a far braver person than I would be. I just couldn’t do it! 👏🏻I look forward to your next travels 🥰
Thanks Julie!! Winter in Devon, lucky you, Spring and summer in Devon are amazing!! 👍😊
@@TheNewbys they sure are…..and in Cornwall where I am from originally ❤️
What a lovely podcast. I have to say John, that I am with you on heights. My legs were shaking watching you and I was lying down! Even more scary was watching Tara standing on the rock overlooking the valley! However, as for the trip to the animal sanctuary, I was blown away. Thankyou for showing this. I am in awe of how beautiful Zimbabwe is. I think after years of watching news items about the country, I had a very odd idea as to what it was like. Many thanks for a glimpse of the reality and beauty that is Zimbabwe.
Hi Linda! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. And, good to hear that johns not alone in his fears!! Taras so pleased to hear your comments about Zimbabwe, it’s such a beautiful country and so misunderstood and we’re so hopeful that we can somehow contribute to a change in opinion and support the people, projects and industries that rely on visitors. Have a super week and we’re excited to share the next chapter with you!
Amazing .. no way would I have gone over the bridges , but well done ...love watching your adventures and look forward to the next one
Hi Kath!! No way John would have gone over those bridges either!! Blame Taras 😂😂😂 thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️🐘🦒
John looks terrified crossing that 90 meter bridge!! Yay John!!🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤ The Wild is Life sanctuary is awesome🥰🥰🥰
totally amazing video!! I couldn't do either of the suspended bridges...I'd be terrified! great job for doing them.
I loved the animals so much. thank you for sharing
Hi Lisa! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. the giraffe was our favourite moment. We are so grateful to have had these experiences. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🦒🦒🐘
Incredible video! I am really proud of Jon for walking over that bridge! I'm not so sure I could have. I love what they are doing at the elephant nursery too. Wonderful people taking care of our beloved wildlife. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. A great way to start my day!!!
Hi Denise, Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Walking over the bridge was a really big deal for John. Phew!! We were also so lucky to visit Wild is Life! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🦒
Loving this series. Epic adventures. Sundays just wouldn’t be the same without you guys. 💚😃
Hi Emma! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Thanks so much for your support as well. Hopefully we will be in Botswana next week. Well that’s the plan anyway. 😉🙏🐘
Absolutely amazing episode! I’m with John - I too would have had jelly legs on the bridges!! And the giraffes would be a highlight for me too! The shots of Crusoe were just beautiful - what a lucky little boy he is to have you guys as parents!
Can’t wait for the next episode! x
Hi Teresa! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! John was terrified! Tara found it hilarious! Crusoe of course as he always does just rolled with the punches and enjoyed every minute! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🐘🙏👍 PS. Next week we hope to get into Botswana. 🤞
Kudos to John for walking that sky bridge. I went to the top of the Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and freaked out inside the walls! But the views that Tara showed in the video are awesome. She was very fortunate to be raised in such a gorgeous country. Thanks for sharing.
This made me smile a lot this morning as I struggle to recover from my 2nd C19 booster. Continue to love watching the videos of your fantastic travels - it is probably fair to say that I might be living my life vicariously for 25 mins every Sunday 🤣. Not sure Crusoe could be any cuter and it is clear that you are all having a blast. Also though it was really cool that you met up with a former schoolmate.
Hi Declan! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. well done for recovering from you booster. You’re all set, that’s great news. We are super grateful that you chose to join us on our adventures every Sunday. Great fun. 👍🐘🙏❤️
Oh my life guys that was amazing. I felt sick myself when I saw those bridges but in true Newby style you did it. All the animals were fantastic but to see little Crusoe so close to the giraffe was brilliant, nothing bothers him, he just takes it all in his stride, or should I say crawl. Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s made me very happy. See you next week
Hi Jane, lovely to hear from you. Thanks as always for traveling along with us. Crusoe is certainly growing brave, the moments with the giraffe are truly what this journey is all about. Thanks for watching and for your support we are so grateful to have you along for this journey.🦒🦒🐘❤️
Holy shit John! You bloody did it! Next off for New Zeeland and do all the fun stuff......
What a park of paradise. To give the support to the animals when they need it the most. Respect!
Thanks Meinart. Truly, as we sit here together replying to your message, John is saying it was terrifying and he ain’t going anywhere near any more high places!! 😂😂😂 Love to the family. See you next week. 👍👍🦒🐘❤️
“Courage, is not the absence of fear, but feeling the fear and doing it anyway” that was amazing show of courage John, I think anyone would have jelly legs doing that, so for someone really fearful of heights was incredible … well done all. Lovely episode, beautiful and amazing work being done by those angels caring for the animals ❤
Thank you Jaqueline that means the world for John to hear. It was a crazy walk and John is so afraid of being up high! We loved this episode too!!👍🙏❤️
Amaaaaaazing!!! I felt giddy meself watching y'all walked on that sky walk. Blimey! That's high! I love adventure and going up hills/ mountains but heights like this..yikes!!! LOL but soo breathtaking! snd Wild if Life is fab! Their work and initiatives should be applauded. Crusoe's face when he saw the giraffe! LOL! so cute! I must say I only saw a pangolin once years ago back when I was at my house in Malaysia - it was having a rest in my parents' house roof! and it's yellow in colour.p/s just another amazing vlog. and the finger food/ cakes wow! delicious! oh and Crusoe in that big hat?? Too cute!!! xxxx
Hi MakLeemah!! Crusoe feeding the giraffe is one of our favourite parts of this journey. Brilliant!!! Wild is Life are such an important part of protecting elephants, we were so fortunate to visit. Love your Pangolin encounter! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️🐘 PS. No emoji for the pangolin!!
John there is nothing like a supportive wife when on a suspension bridge. 😂😂 Well done in facing the fear. Great footage again both and always a pleasure watching your posts. As other comments state always a pleasure to see your posts on a Sunday.
Hi David!! Exactly! Nothing quite like a supportive wife when you’re hanging around 700 meters in the sky!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🦒🐘❤️
Hi guys. There are some words that I would never write in the comments, but I was thinking them when you were walking over those bridges. All I can say is WOW, my hat goes off to you yet again, and John's excitement feeding the Giraffe, magical ❤❤❤
Hi Tara John and Crusoe,wow what a view when on the bridge john you are really nervous on the bridge look at Tara go ,was it very windy 🌬 up there,come on john you can do it sorry john but the look on your face is a bit scary,Crusoe did not mind the hight ,tell me what you doing in this motor,to see the elephants feed themselves with a bottle that’s something else ,that pangolin look like a armadillo yes beautiful creatures,Crusoe looking at the giraffe what a picture on his face,fantastic and most enjoyable blog thank you all so much you have showed us some beautiful scenery and beautiful stunning places and views,till next week take care keep drive careful,lots of love and a hug for Crusoe,john 🌹🌹🙏🌟🎊😘🌬🌬🥳🍻🥂🍻♥️✋
Hi John! Always terrific to hear from you. What a week we have had. John terrified of heights as every one knows. Brave Tara and curious Crusoe! The elephants were great and the giraffe our favourite bit. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️🐘🦒
This is amazing video .best sunrise and your day starting well.the baby boy very ready for adventure.thanks for taking us along. woo the chameleon very scaring.
Hi Dams! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we loved that Crusoe got to say hi to a chameleon and a giraffe this week. Very cool!! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🦒🐘
I'm very jealous that you got to meet a pangolin, they are such beautiful creatures! Here in Dubai there is a safari park where you can also feed the giraffe, and I agree, it's a wonderful experience and such a privilege!
Another lovely vlog John and Tara in the beautiful Eastern Highlands of Zim. It brings back wonderful memories of The Troutbeck Inn at Inyanga and The Montclair Casino hotel at Juliasdale. Some fabulous views into Mozambique. I think the Matarazi falls that you visited are not that far from the Pungwe river falls. The whole region is stunning.
Thanks so much Hugh! We actually had lunch at troutbeck and drove past Montclair, all still there. My uncle used to farm at Claremont in juliasdale and my parents were married in the little church there so there’s a lot of family history and memory there for us. Such a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing our journey with us, we so appreciate it.
Well done John for walking the 90m bridge! You certainly lived up to the moto of “be brave”. I know someone else that needs the same recognition for letting you take the Cruiser!! Hahahahahaha
Hey Felix!! BE BRAVE! You nailed it there. Bloody terrifying!! Hahaha. Good for Eelco, he must sweat when he loses sight of the cruiser!! 😂😂😂❤️👍 Next up Botswana, and then we got flight booked for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So thrilling. My husband is exactly the same as John!!! He was urging you on, on the second bridge and it was so funny! So proud you guys did that. Not sure I could. Beautiful scenery.
Hi Ellie! Blimey that bridge.. John was terrified!! He is super pleased he made it across. Phew. Zimbabwe is such a beautiful country we feel very grateful for having had these experiences. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍❤️🐘🦒
@@TheNewbys sorry if I spelt johns name wrong. Ohhhhh I was terrified walking across either of them!!! You did well gorl!!!!
Thanks Ellie!! 😊🙏
Ohhh so great...
Im granny but love to watch your videos...so greatt crossing this bridge...take care you both and crusso....
Love from Asia Philippines.
The morning breeze in Africa is wonderful 😀
Quite right George. Nothing a wonderful as an African sunrise. 🌅 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏🌍🦒
Congrats John on the crossing of the bridge! I am not sure if I could do it! Admiration for all of you!
Hi guys what a brilliant day …… the walk way was amazing well done for making it 😀 and oh my god elephants giraffe and a pangolin brilliant such an amazing sanctuary doing great work. Cheered us both up on a very cold Monday morning here in Brighton. X
Hi Maria! Thanks so much for tuning in and for such a wonderful comment, we really appreciate it and we’re excited to share the work being done by the amazing people at Wild Is Life. Thanks for being here and we will see you next Sunday!
Oh it was so lovely seeing the Eastern Highlands. Having Zim grandparents, who lost so many friends on those eastern farms during the war, seeing now little bits of the post war peace upon the land is great. My first actual video footage that I see of the East of Zim. I hope you will introduce us more to that beautiful land and it's riches. One of the first to be sold to the new world rulers. Such a sad history. Glad to see how beautiful it is and how people still try to bring life to the suffering of people and animals. Great video thank you.
Thanks for watching friend. What a lovely comment to read. Thank you. ZIM is home to Tara and so has a very special place in our hearts. We will be back. ❤️🙏
This is another amazing episode… thank you❤️
Thanks Carol!! 🙏❤️🐘🦒
This is one of the best Adventures I've watched this week,the views are 💯 beautiful ❤️
Africa 🌍 is beautiful and finally but not least you got a beautiful wife and adorable little one,I'm a content creator as well and I recommend this, usa 🇺🇲
Wow thanks Anduya, that’s a very kind compliment and means a lot to us. Thanks for being a part of our journey, and we hope life is good in the USA!
Another truly beautiful video guy’s. I always look forward to Sundays when I can catch up on your adventures. The work they do at Wild is Life is amazing. I will certainly have that on my list, if ever I get to Zim. 😀👍
Hi Martyn, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching every Sunday friend. Wild is Life is super cool and we were very lucky to have been able to visit. If you get to Zim they are very worth a visit! 👍🦒🐘❤️
Hello what another awesome video. I loved the early morning gift that sunrise with coffee looks just divine. How amazing feeding the giraffe. Such a wonderful place for the baby and juvenile Elephants hopefully they can be returned to the wild successfully. It’s a great that they have a second chance. Caruso is growing ever so quickly crawling and keeping you in your toes before you know it he will be up on his feet.
Thanks for an enjoyable video as always. Many thanks Cheryl x
Thanks Cheryl! Oh the little man sure is keeping us on our feet - and he is very nearly on his!! This next chapter through Botswana with an almost toddler will be very interesting indeed - watch this space! Have a wonderful week and thank you again for being here. ❤️
OMG! I had a very hard time watching as you walked over those bridges 😅 I wasn’t even there and I could barely get through it. Good job John, I know you have a fear of heights as well but you did it! Loved seeing the giraffes and elephants they were beautiful. Thanks again for the adventure! ❤
Another AmaZing episodes. That bridge though...oh my goodness💕
Thanks Simply me! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. That bridge, terrifying!! 👍🐘🌁

Hi tripletgirl2! Always great to hear from you friend. This was indeed a great adventure!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘❤️
Oh my goodness! My legs were like jelly as you all were walking over the last bridge! Just amazing! I couldn't help wonder what Crusoe was thinking as he watched the Giraffe! He just kept his eyes on the Giraffe the whole time. You guys are the best! Thanks again for a great video! Just wow!!!
Ahh thanks so much Laura! Showing Crusoe these things is what this little adventure is all about. Love that you’re a part of it. 🙏🏼
What an absolutely delightful video! I’m loving your journey through Africa! I feel for you John, just watching you walk over that bridge gave me chills, I am also scared of heights so well done for doing that 👍🏻 Also love the giraffe, they’re such special creatures 💜Keep the fabulous videos coming, they’re the highlight of my Sundays 😊
Hi Bridget! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! The giraffe will certainly stay strong in our list of epic moments for quite some time. The bridge john reckons is best quickly forgotten 😂😂😂. Thanks so much for watching, hope to see you next week from Botswana. 👍❤️🐘
What a marvellous video as you confronted Nature at it’s wildest. Loved every minute of it. Great recording !
We are no longer able to go adventuring, So a big thanks for 'taking' us with you. Bless you, stay safe big hug for Crusoe he is adorable.
Hi Les! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Crusoe is loving the adventure. Today he saw his first lion! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️🦒🐘
I’ve just met up with you all and am feeling quite fortunate to follow along on your truly epic adventures. The giraffes are so majestic and stately . I admire the support and respect the bravery of Dad crossing the bridges outside the comfort zone. Oh yes that bull elephant gave us a huge experience as well.
Hi Eleanor! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. its been quite the adventure! Lots more to come too. Thanks for your support and joking us on this journey! 🙏😊❤️
So awesome! John your courage, I So very proud of you both. How amazing. I absolutely love these older videos. The site's, exploring, love it all. Thank you so much for taking us along. ❤❤❤❤
The interaction between the giraffe and Caruso is amazing I honestly believe the giraffe knew Caruso was a “baby” such a wonderful experience
We think so too! They’re amazing creatures.
Well done John for crossing the bridges. This was such a special vlog and to see Crusoe feeding the giraffes was the icing on the cake!
Hi Linda! Crusoe feeding the giraffes was also our favourite bit. What a lovely family moment. 😀 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🦒🦒❤️🙏
Hi I joined your journey when travel beans featured you on their travels. I quickly got hooked and have gone back to the start to follow your amazing journey. I’m loving watching Crusoe growing up from the day he was born. Such an amazing start to his life. Beautiful family. Keep it up xx
Hi Natalie, thanks so much friend. We are so excited to have you join us on all our adventures! ❤️❤️❤️
Another great adventure - looking at that view !!!!
Crusoe has the exact same smile now 😊. Cute boy (both of them) 😊
I like the way Crusoe looked up at the giraffe with such awe! 😍
He loves giraffe, his favourite animal! 🦒🦒
Much love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Thanks Gilbert! 👍🌍🇿🇼🇿🇼🦒
@@TheNewbys 🥰🤝
Well done John for overcoming his fear, a wonderful example for Crusoe! I see the little man is crawling now, that'll keep you on your toes!😁 What a great experience to meet those fantastic animals at close range, Wild is Life are doing an excellent job! Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Claire! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Crusoe is crawling and fast!!! We can hardly keep up. Loving ZIM but next week we very much hope to head into Botswana. 🤞thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍❤️🦒🦒🐘
Oh I loved it, all of the animals and the bridges of course .Ahhhhhhhh.
Thanks again Glenys! ❤️❤️👍
I'm speechless! I love Africa so much as ND you brought her to me even better than the Discovery Channel !! Thank you 🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
❤️❤️❤️
WTG Jon, you did it! I know how you feel. I and my cousin walked across a suspension bridge here a few years ago. There were so many people on it healthier than us and it was swinging etc. There was no harness and I can honestly say, never again.
So awesome feeding the giraffes and the elephant rescue touched my heart.
Hi Peter! A very scary day for John, but we did it! I think John will agree with you when you say never again!! ❤️🙏👍
Can’t sms just relaxing 😎 so beautiful 🐘🐘🐘🦒🦒🦒
Love to John 🥰 well done 👍 What a man you have there Tara, Crusoe’s got the best with you two. There is no way I could have done that walk so thanks for taking me there. I think I’ll have a pint as well actually it’s only 9am here I better hang back for a bit I think I’ll have a swim down at the beautiful Balmoral beach cheers🍻 … just before I go I’m blown away with seeing the amazing pangolin, my granddaughters favourite animal she is so aware of the terrible trafficking 🥲
Hi Denise, Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! your grand daughter has excellent taste in favourite animals, sounds like she has her head screwed on. What a wonderful experience we have been able to enjoy this week, the giraffe meeting Crusoe was probably our favourite bit. Hope you enjoyed your pint friend! See you next week. 🙏👍🦒🐘❤️
I loved this episode. I felt so patrioticly Rhodesian. Thank you for sharing this one Tara 🤗 I'm joining Wild is Life page right after this video!!!
We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Louise! Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🙏🏼❤️
This was AMAZING❤🧡💛💚💙
Thank you Terry! Love the multi coloured hearts friend. 🙏👍❤️🌍
OMGOSH!!! I was over here
telling Jon to just keep his eyes on Tara and not look down!!
Hahaha thanks Irma!
This is my favourite so far, but then Ive loved them all. The view on the sky walk looks wonderful, well done John for overcoming your fear, definitely worth it. The view looked like something from a film set. Its amazing how Crusoe doesn't seem bothered by the animals, many young children would look, then have that look of fear on their face, then burst in to tears, but not Crusoe just takes it all in his stride! Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure and I look forward to next weeks. Stay safe and best wishes to you all.
Hi Dave! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Crusoe is growing brave and curious for sure. We hope soon he will be walking around. It’s his 1st birthday this month. Very exciting!
This was also one of our favourite vlogs. Lots of fun. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🦒🐘❤️🙏
Well done Jon. That was amazing. You deserve a pint…. Or two 👍👍👍👏👏👏😯😯😯
Thanks Karen!! Phew that was a challenging week. Thanks for watching friend. 👍🙏🐘
G'day, I'm loving all your posts. I'll never see these places, so looking at them, i feel I've been there.😊
Crusoe is having a normal life experiences watching real life animals that don't talk in human voices. Keep it up.🥰😘
Thanks 101 Life. Great comment friend. 🙏👍
I must congratulate you both, especially you mate, as I can’t handle heights anymore, I get vertigo. I even had to not watch you cross I listened though. Kudos to you both and especially for not transferring your fears to Caruso, John well done 🙏👏👏
Wow this is definitely one of my favourites. John I am with you, there is absolutely no chance I would ever walk across any of those bridges. Oh how I am going to miss you all xx
Hi mum! Thank you for always supporting us on our journey. Next of course Botswana and lots of work and adventure ahead. We will for sure be checking in regularly and we see about getting back to ZiM soon. ❤️❤️🙏
Thank you! I never knew Zimbabwe was so beautiful! And thank you for the videos of the bridges, falls and amazing views. 👍
Thanks so much for watching Merridy ❤️😊
Wow amazing epeisode. Just watching you on that bridge my legs were like jelly! Well done guys. watching this reminded me of the first time I saw you guys; it was when you were up Mount Zas on Naxos- nothing as high but even then John was talikng about going too close to the edge! Thank you for sharing. Will definitely look up the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery and also follow them on instagram too.
Ahh amazing to hear that Naxos is where you started the journey with us Suzanne! It’s always wonderful to hear from you and thank you for supporting the elephant nursery, special people with an amazing project. Have a happy weekend!
Bon Voyage and safe travel special family. Always sad to day goodbye but look forward to the next hello.
Amazing fortitude John. Mike and Lau
We miss you guys already. Thank you so much for an incredibly special couple of days, you guys are simply the best. Love you all very much and we can’t wait to see you all again soon. Xxx
Absolutely awesome. I have never commented on any channel before but each week I am so impressed with the love and care you show not only for each other but for this beautiful earth as well. Thank you so much for such a delightful example of family and travel.
Thank you so much Lili, what a kind and wonderful comment to receive. We’re so grateful for the support and look forward to having you along for the journey!
Hi guys just relaxing 😎 watching you and John crossing the bridge 🌁 so beautiful 🤩
Phew!
Well done you two, especially on crossed those skywalks 🤭
Wonderful Zim shots - so beautiful, and what a great place the Ellie Nursery is.
Haha thanks Penny, no small feat for john but a memory to last a lifetime! See you soon.
Wow! Ok that’s it. Our friends want us to visit Africa with them in September 2023 and this just convinced me. And John I’m so proud of you for crossing the bridge. I would’ve died. 😂
You are going to love Africa Lynn! It is one of our favourite places to visit! Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🙏🏼❤️
Lovely video and it brings back special memories of my visits there. Last one was 2002. The bridges weren't there then and although it would be an amazing experience walking across them I prefer to remember the Mtarazi Falls in their natural beauty without man made structures spoiling the view. You also used to be able to walk down to the top of the falls and that was a pretty spectacular view too. I didn't know about the elly sanctuary. So you are ex Zim then Tara? Me too. I look forward to watching some more of your videos in due course. God Bless.
Hi Hugh! Great to hear from you friend, especially an ex Zim, its been quite a week! The views of the falls are something else. Wow, we have such a wonderful country. The elephant sanctuary was great, our favourite bit quite possibly the giraffe hanging out with Crusoe. Wonderful. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🦒🐘❤️
