Team Zimbabwe in Lion Encounter

July 4, 2008 at 6:08 am | In Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Team Zim somehow managed to fit themselves, their luggage, spare fuel and a few crates into the back of a bakkie [ute] and drive the 160km to Gweru, and to Antelope Park for an overnight sstay and some wildlife encounters.









Once safely esconced in our all-in bungalow accommodation the team set about taking up the various wildife options available, including playing with lion cubs [big ones!], watching big lions get fed, playing withe elephants and various game viewing excurcsions.

The team greatly enjoyed the food available, which was the heartiest so far and also warm bedding, which has eluded us in the bitter cold. Antelope Park is situated just outside Gweru, the ‘heart of
Zimbabwe’.  Strangely enough, all the white women hear sound exactly like to two Gweru women we know in Brisbane, Sue and Jane!  We told them so as well, much to their befuddlement.
