Beautiful Zimbabwe: Episode 5 - The road to Gonarezhou: A place of Elephants

In this final episode of Beautiful Zimbabwe, Ryan convinces me, to travel with him to Gonarezhou. We then take the route "less travelled" to get there and obviously arrive late again, but we have the most amazing adventure through the most incredible lands.
Thank you to Ryan from @4x4ventures for some of the great footage in this episode.

    What an awesome video Bruce! It was both entertaining & informative. There's nothing quite like rural Zimbabwe and the bush was stunning. Made me feel very homesick. I visited Gonarezhou when I was in std 5 (1974) on a school safari of the Lowveld. I remember the Chilojo Cliffs. We walked in the riverbed thru the rounded rocks and those cliffs are really imposing. It always amazes me how clean all Zim cities, towns & villages are, compared to the filth & decay of SA.

    I live in Bulawayo and I keep seeing similar comments on the cleanliness of our cities and towns on other videos. We take this for granted because we see the opposite. We just had a massive spring clean a couple of weeks ago here in Bulawayo where pretty much most of the city spent a week clearing problem littered areas in the city street by street.

    Thanks very much John and I am so glad to hear it bought back memories. I’ve just got back from another visit there and can’t wait to show some more things I found and did including, mermaids pools, some of the eastern highlands and the southern most top of Zim.

    Awesome adventure and epic content Just found your channel this morning and downloaded all of the Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 trip . Happy to hear please do not litter , if can bring it in then you can take it out Like the story of the snake God's at the dam wall , your old school looks fantastic and how you made an old lady smile at her small road side shop. Loved the history lessons and you are absolutely correct , safety first because safety does not take a holiday. Friendliness does go a long way , police and even the lady on the side of the road you greeted. Once again epic , next level , Awesome and fantastic show .

    Wonderful to see baobab trees, that I was so fascinated by in my youth. There is a particularly fine example at the Baobab Hotel midway between Dete and Vic Falls - quite near the Hwange Colliery. We used to call the large pods known as 'monkey bread' or more commonly 'cream of tartar fruit'. Loving your videos - bringing back so many memories of my home for the 1st 16 years of my life!
