She sat open-mouthed, her pink-barbed tongue lolling, panting at the effort of the feast. She was not so much looking at us through her glowering, heavy-lidded eyes as through us. Somewhere far, far away. Her pin-prink black pupils were glazed. Her body was heaving with the in and out breaths of an overly fed lion. She wasn’t going anywhere. Four others were soldiering through, taking lazy, slow bites off of the carcass that lay between them, masticating over each mouthful. One of the four moved ever so slightly, stretching her front paws from under her, making space for her round belly. I was reminded of contestants at an all-you-can-eat contest.
Hello to you all, and welcome to sunny and colourful September. September opens the final quarter of the year and as always the busiest one. As you will see the Events calendar is jam-packed with exciting things to look forward to and we know you will definitely find something you will love.
On our latest trip to the resort town of Victoria Falls, we had the pleasure of visiting the recently opened Palm River Hotel. Palm River is a 4-star facility that is a sister property to Ilala Lodge. We were completely impressed by the hotel itself and the experience as a whole. The hotel is a beautiful piece of architecture that uses a lot of local elements to come up with a property of world-class standards. There is a stunning walkway that leads to the entrance. The replica of the Victoria Falls Bridge is quite remarkable. The landscaping around the property is really top-notch as well. All the main areas have evocative artwork or statement pieces as foyer furniture.
Aberfoyle Lodge is situated on a tea estate in the Honde Valley approximately 400 kilometres from Harare on the Mutare/Juliusdale Road via Rusape Town. The main lodge has sixteen rooms, two are suites, namely Fish Eagle and Seedcracker they are spacious and overlook the golf course. All the other standard rooms overlook the forest and all have tea and coffee stations, hair dryers, and en suite bathrooms. In addition to this, they have a dormitory block which consists of 4 rooms with 4 bunk beds each sleeping capacity of thirty-two people in total. Then a short drive away is Hornbill House which can sleep 7 people making Abefoyle Lodge the ideal choice to celebrate a special occasion in our case a joint 50th celebration.
The Eastern Highlands region of Zimbabwe is one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Well known for its stunning landscapes, it has a lot to offer the nature lover who is hungry to explore. The area has a wide vegetation profile due to its rich soils, high altitude, and plentiful rainfall. One of the distinctive plants that are associated with the Eastern Highlands is the Protea. The Protea is a flower variety that is only found in Sub Saharan Africa and is quite abundant in neighbouring South Africa. It is a very diverse plant that has over one hundred subspecies.

If you have put off traveling for many seasons you probably kicked yourself a bit when we were stuck indoors and leisure traveling was out of the question. We can say much about the benefits of travel but we focus now on a clever planning perspective. The Pay now and travel later concept

This incredible 42 day circuit of Zimbabwe starts and ends in Johannesburg. We head into Zimbabwe from the south and travel in a clockwise direction. From our recent experience, on this route most of the national parks (other than at Victoria Falls and Hwange) do not have much tourism at present.
I believe no Victoria Falls trip is complete without going on a river cruise. There is something incredibly relaxing about being on the water and being surrounded by all that beauty. On a recent trip to the resort town, we had the pleasure of sampling a sunset cruise aboard the Zambezi Explorer. The Zambezi Explorer is under the Pure Africa stable; it is one of three fine vessels on which they are offering leisure experiences on the Zambezi.
