Zimbabwe is one country which I never knew where it was actually located om the map till I started doing some homework around it. Zimbabwean government has recently introduced Online Visa which makes it easier for all the potential tourists. The day we arrived in Harare we took the flight to Victoria to see the mighty Victoria falls. This fall is across the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, however I understand the view from Zimbabwe is better however Zambia has the Devil's pool for the adventure seekers. There are lots of souvenir shops in Victoria and also across the falls. Apart from the curio shopping, we also brought some old banknotes of Zimbabwe. I did have to pay only 1$ to get more than billion Zimbabwean dollars. However in Zimbabwe the official dealing is only in $. Post this we went over to the Falls hotel to have some high tea and enjoy the views.
Later on in the day we went over to the Gorge for some adventure swings. On the next day we had booked in for an elephant ride. I have been such a huge fan of the big African elephants and wanted to get up close with them at any cost. Hence the ride and we did enjoy every moment of this. Later on we spent time feeding the elephants. The evening was booked for African food experience called the Boma with all the game meets. However after trying couple of different meats, I had to give up but we thoroughly enjoyed the African dances the entire evening. This should be a must visit even if you dont eat meat.
The next day was reserved for Hwange Safari park in an open jeep. This was planned to see more and more elephant for my greedy mind. However to our disappointment, the weather was quite cold and not many came out. We returned to Victoria and then by flight to Harare for our way back. However since we had some time left, we took a quick car drive to the Balancing rocks which has become a sort of National symbol to the Zimbabweans. A big thank you to all the African Elephants as I finally got myself pictured with them.
