ZIMBABWE ANOTHER LAND, A STORY TO TELL

Fear may grip you as you listen to all the stories and writings that go by about Zimbabwe. With an undefined future this land is still paradise.

Zimbabwe is known for its river Zambezi which houses the magnificent Victoria Falls. Mighty waters rush through and crocodiles can be seen scanning the banks.

Elephants sip lazily on the water and Hippos sit in their water with their heads out afloat.

The Zambezi slides along between Zambia to the north, and Zimbabwe to the south. David Livingstone was enchanted by the magnificent Zambezi stretch.
