Living in Zimbabwe has its ups and downs, but it is a beautiful country to explore. We would like to share with you some of the beauties and fun things we enjoy living here.
Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is a mile wide and a football field deep!

After viewing the Falls we enjoy “High Tea” at the historical Victoria Falls Hotel.
In the evening we enjoy eating at the Boma where we eat a wide variety of game meat and enjoy the dancing and drumming of local entertainers.
We also enjoy camping in the bush.
And relaxing in game parks while watching for game.
The Chinhoy Cave is an unexpected treasure. The water in the cave is so deep that divers have not been able to ascertain its depths. The water is a stunning sapphire blue.
Great Zimbabwe is an ancient ruin whose purpose and origin is quite a mystery today. Zimbabwe is derived from “dzimba dza mabwe” which means “houses of stone”.
At the top of the hill is another enclosure where five mythical carved stone birds were found. One of them has become a symbol for the country of Zimbabwe.
Another beautiful sight is the Bridal Veil Falls in the Chimanimani mountains.
The Matopos rocky hills are fun to explore and one can find many different caves in which are found Bushman paintings.
One of my favorite views of Harare is from a hill overlooking the city, especially when the Jacaranda trees are in bloom.
In the Nyanga mountains one can see many beautiful waterfalls like these – the Inyangombe Falls.
Cruising on Lake Kariba in a houseboat is also a fun thing to do!
Because of the dust in the air during the dry season, our sunsets are incomparably beautiful and colourful.
