A Rare Look at Zimbabwe

We've decided that our next adventure will be a 5 day trip through Zimbabwe with our new-found friends Archie and Blessing. We are staying at the Savanna Lodge, where they both used to work prior to starting their own tourism business so they both came highly recommended. Due to the economic hardship in Zimbabwe and lack of tourists, it has been almost 6 months since they last booked a trip. We're excited for this adventure which will take us south to Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zim, then on to Masvingo near the Great Zimbabwe, and then finally to Mutare and the Eastern Highlands. Both Archie and Blessing grew up in the Eastern Highlands so we are particularly interested to view this part of Zim with the "locals".
