This time we had planned to drive via the Eastern Highlands and the capital Harare to Mana Pools. Accordingly, the road did not lead us via Masvingo again, but in the direction of Mutare, after Harare and Bulawayo, the third largest city in the country. Not 100 km after we left the Gonarezhou, it started
The question whether we should visit Gonarezhou National Park or not did not really arise. Even though this park demanded a significant detour from us, it was clear to us at all times that we wanted to spend a few days there. The way led us from Bulawayo first to Masvingo to Lake Kyle and from
A little story as we experienced it only in Zimbabwe. We pulled into the parking lot in Bulawayo at Food Lovers market, Pick n Pay and some restaurants, got out and stopped briefly at the passenger door because Sonja was still looking for a shopping bag.

The drive to Sinamatella was unspectacular. The camp is located on a hill, with campsites along the edge.

To Chizarira NP When we left Mana Pools, we drove back to Karoi and wanted to refuel there one last time. A full tank with Jerrycans should bring us to the Namibian border without any problems. Once again, we had no problems at all. We refueled a total of five times and never had problems
Visiting Mana Pools was imminent The way from Matobo to Mana Pools is simply too far for a day drive. We decided to spend a night at Chinhoyi. Our goal was to avoid Harare and according to our GPS, there were two possible campsites. The caves of Chinhoyi were our choice. We met some locals
Great Zimbabwe We left Gonarezhou NP and drove via Chiredzi to Masvingo with the aim to visit the largest ruins site in Southern Africa. Great Zimbabwe was built around the 11th century, consists of three different sites and served as a royal seat. Details about it are easy to find on the internet. We wanted
Our way to Gonarezhou NP Our first stop after arriving in Zimbabwe should be Gonarezhou NP. This park, which is part of the “Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park“, impresses with its nature and wildness. Well.
