Wildlife tours
Zimbabwe (Exodus) Wildlife 1999
Three weeks over Easter. The tour was only 2 weeks but no flights available. I had to fly out 3 days before and come back 3 days after the end of the tour !
3 days before ...I stayed in Harare and a couple of day trips
The tour: Harare to Bulawayo and Matobo game reserve..
Francistown and the Okavango Delta (Maun). From Maun airfield I took a flight over the delta.Then we took dugout canoes that were punted to an overnight camp on a small island.
Finally Vic Falls, a microlite flight over the falls and "White Water Rafting" finally Chobe NP ! On my extra 3 days I took in Hwange NP.
Some photos below but a link to loads more I have to find and scan. Great fun but could have drowned in the Zambezi !
Reviewing the photos has been good..I only post a selection which I hope are of interest.
Like most of the trips we camped out a lot. Lots of pleasant landscape sunset photos in Bostwana (not posted)
