J Street do you wanna bring politics into this post? What are you on about? There was no negativity in this post and it will stay that way. Think what you want. We just travelled and enjoyed our trip and posted it for people to enjoy what we experienced. No bullshit.
Brought back awesome memories, I also did Mana Pools to Kariba in a "bakkie mate" with my mum & grandad. I was born in Bulawayo & Zim remains in my heart. Thanks for this video.
Zimbabwe is such a beautiful country with very rich resources and nice people. I was there last year and have been there a total of three times. I really enjoyed each and every visit.Thank you for this wonderful vlog.🇺🇲❤🇿🇼
Born and bred in the eastern parts of Zim where we also hve chimanimani mountains,Nyanga mountains,Mtarazi falls, Hot springs jss mention a few.Thank u guyz for showing the best parts of my country.Be blessed,all of u🙏
My father took us on many road trips all over Zimbabwe- of course we took it all for granted. Now, after living in the US for +18 years those trips are precious memories. No trip I have taken in the US can compare.
Loved every minute of this....so many highlights throughout but the best part was that you had nothing negative to say. What a special part of a special country. Chitake, the wild camp you stayed at, is a Batonka word used to describe a "stop-over" that these original inhabitants would aim for when travelling / trading between the people north of the Zambezi, and the people who lived up and over the escarpment to the south. Chitake is the only place in the region that has water (from the spring), throughout the year and can be clearly seen from the top of the escarpment for nine months of the year because of all the greenery. Essentially it was a beacon for these people when they were returning to their homes on the Zambezi. The Batonka people were the first to successfully trade across the regions north and south of the Zambezi between what is now Zambia and Zimbabwe.
If you arrive at the marongora permit office too late in the day to gain entry into mana pools, there is a decent campsite behind the office. They let us camp there after we arrived when it was dark. It is a decent campsite with clean toilets and showers, but you have to bring your own tents as there are no rooms.
Wow you sound so familiar with the Zim towns and places well done.l have just come across ur vlog you are all stars guys keep it up.Africa to the world🌍✊✈️✌🙏🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Well done manne! Last time I was in Zim was in 1968 and 69. Now gone for 42 years and hoping to do a Kariba houseboat trip soon while I still can. This Corona thing is messing up the world. I am now a subscriber!
I lived in beautiful Kariba from 1995 up to 1998. I have wonderful memories of that town. Going back to Kariba is on my bucket list. This time around I will take my adult son with. Thanks for the video. Seeing the Lake footage gave me goosebumps!
I stayed at Chitake Springs for two nights and Mucheni Camp on the banks of the Zambezi for four nights only two months ago. We had the park all to ourselves because of Covid. Anyway, Mana Pools is quite possibly the most incredible patch of land on the planet.
This is beautiful ❣️, am so happy to see Marongora on that video. I grew up there for 15 years and later moved to Kariba where I currently live now, am happy too to see my home town Kariba❤️
Big up to u man gud job ppl nid 2 noe how beautiful this country🇿🇼 is often ppl ar misinformed abt Africa ey nid 2 noe hw polite nd welcoming Africans are hop u enjyd
That looks like such an awesome camping trip!!! Wow lake Kariba was huge!!! When I saw the dead trees in the water, I thought it was some swampy little lake. Then you showed the rest of it!!! Pre-covid fun...
Well done! Spent many weeks there in the early 60’s without anyone else. Just a track from the main road turnoff took about 3 hrs to get there. Loads of wildlife. Lovely to revisit through your cameras.
Great video guys - I used to go down to Mana Pools sixty one (61) years ago (early sixties) with my Dad on an annual shooting trip to make biltong for three families for the whole year. My Dad and the two Ooms from the other two families would also get a elephant, each which would pay for the concession and two weeks on camp. There were very few roads and we had lions and hyena in the camp every night as there was a lot of meat and blood form making biltong - brought back memories but I did not remember any of the places you showed on your video. One thing we used to do was shoot fish in the pools with shotguns - the pools were drying up and we would have fried bream almost every night together with impala and buffalo. Well done - many memories brought back to me - Baaie Danke.
We didn't get to Mana Pools, but did the Okavango Delta, then flew to Kasane, did Chobe, crossed over Kazangula into Zambia, did Vic falls from the Livingstone side, then across into Zim up to Binga where we boarded the Catalina, a 100' catamaran and spent 5 days exploring Kariba, got some great Tiger fishing in and then back to Livingstone. Great trip, that was 10 years ago now, but what an experience. Bucket list item for sure
A tourism student? How does that work exactly? They offer a training course at your job you mean right? I really hope the world hasnt come to a place where one would be convinced this entails skill and something of value that also would need to be taught by someone educated in the "field"? How desperately sad. Listen it can easily be summed up simply. Most tourists are idiots and already are by nature before putting themselves in a situation where they dont pack a single brain cell and leave all common sense at home. Some ofthem are prepared to be hustled and lied too and taken advantage of for every penny they brought with them, one of these types thinks theyre too smart for a hustler and the other has the money to not even care and actually do every stupd thing that will increase the likely hood. The former will get taken for every penny quickly and will have to return home early. And they deserve it because while there they disrespected every woman child animal and destroyed nature and took for granted and took advantage of the culture beauty and value of where they were. The latter tourist will also destroy the peace of animals and nature and likely but to a lesser extent the people and their culture by acting like mor0ns clicking their stupid cameras and scaring off animals or right in local peoples faces disrespecting personal space and asking stupid questions. Both will leave where ever they were in a worse space than when they arrived but they will have left all their money toooooo the cheats liars hustlers thieving locals that no matter how seemingly innocent mocked the tourist that just paid them more for some upcycled garbage worth pennies but was more than theyve made in a month. The whole thing is like a drug deal on the corner between strangers. no need to degrade yourself by letting someone call it school and help them get thousands-millions of aid or government funds to teach you how to point out what something is to someone that youre going to hustler their money from 🙁 This is as bad as when they made hotel work a an academic thing but that was a 100% government - big business deal to produce well trained slaves. thats what our government does and all your governments thinks ours is some kind of role model. Wonderful. All while we help aid Big Business and Government destroy the earth and the freedom of its inhabitants and the health of every living thing. What could possibly be next. This is sick and so desperately sad.
loved it guys, learned some things from you guys about inflating tires when driving in gravel roads, we just drive, that's why our cars break all the time😂
BY FAR THE BEST 28 MINUTES ON YT. Well done guys. Your attitude was/is great. Maybe better than the scenery and that was spectacular. Loved you guys. Stuff of legends. The ONLY negative is I was seriously bummed when the video came to an end. Would gladly have watched another hour.
Beautiful video, amazing thank you... I lived in Kariba and it was the last place I saw my mom alive, such a special place...where can I get someone who organize these kind of tours?
I know a local zimbabwean who lives in vic falls and does these tours. I travelled with him across zimbabwe twice! Send me an email and i will forward you to him.
Great videos.. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe .. Mana pools I have visited many times over the years. The most beautiful part of Africa . Wild and natural as it should be . Great job guys on the footage .. Chitake is wild and dangerous but a beautiful part of the Zambezi valley . Just wanted to let you know Vundu camp site area is actually west not East .
Antelope Park was started by old man Kasula, I still remember as kid when he told me a story when an Ostrich kicked him and the surgeon did a horrible thinking he would not make it.
Absolutely beautiful trip.....reminded me of a school trip many moons ago to these areas Mana Pools, Kariba and we also did Chinhoyi Caves!!! Hopefully I can do a repeat before meeting my maker😊
Next holiday i need a 4 wheel drive for gravel roads. Guys please do a pack with us video before your next trip. I need to know what to pack. Already on number 1, i have Jerry cans for fuel.
Hardus, ek volg so baie van die GROOT name op You Tube, en hier kom ek op jou juweel af, wat net so goed is as enigiets wat ek nog gesien het. Well done man. Lekker om bietjie videos van Afrika gemaak deur ons eie mense hier op You Tube te sien.
Dankie JC, dit beteken baie. Waardeer jou terugvoering. Ja vir my ook lekker om goeie content te kry deur Suid Afrikaners(wat nie baie is nie). Groete, Hardus
That Chitake Springs has seen human fatalities over the years. Peter Evershed was attacked and killed by lions at dusk in 2010. A young English lad was also dragged from his unzipped tent and completely devoured which led to the whole pride being destroyed and his remains recovered from their stomachs.
Thanks for a fantastic video guys, I’m an old East African & lived in SA too. Please give us more of these videos they bring back so many memories for me!
awsome video tour adventure with a lot of variety of animals to see very existing you can step out of vehicle walk stress your Legg plus adding some music on the video the keep the audience more enjoyable to watch, thank you. to upload & you to share///
