Hi Bruce. I am a Zimbabwean who recently qualified as a Tour Guide and I enjoy your travel videos very very much. You have put my Country on the Map Brother. My wish would be to be your Tour Guide one day soon and show you more of Zimbabwe's 7 wonders and much more!

One of the most special reservise in Africa still very wild and not seeing cars very 5 min a unbelievable park a experiences of being in a very wild Africa as it should be Elephant can be a problem and need to be treated with respect I've been going for many years it's an wonderful experience well worth a visit

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

So true and that's what makes it even more special and one of the very few truly wild places left. Definitely one of my top 5. Thank you for watching and commenting Mark.

[@NgonidzaisheNgonidzashe]

I have been following your Zim adventure from your time at Mana Pools. What I have really learnt from your Zim series is "yes we may have our fair share of problems but we remain a happy nation sorrounded by nothing but beauty". Thanks Bruce!

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you Gerard. You need to visit again. Thank you for watching

[@brucemcdonald8529]

What an awesome video Bruce! It was both entertaining & informative. There's nothing quite like rural Zimbabwe and the bush was stunning. Made me feel very homesick. I visited Gonarezhou when I was in std 5 (1974) on a school safari of the Lowveld. I remember the Chilojo Cliffs. We walked in the riverbed thru the rounded rocks and those cliffs are really imposing. It always amazes me how clean all Zim cities, towns & villages are, compared to the filth & decay of SA.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

you need to go back and visit. An amazing country with amazing people and places. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching and commenting again. PS. I am back in two weeks time, so watch out for that series in a couple months time.

[@ncubesays]

I live in Bulawayo and I keep seeing similar comments on the cleanliness of our cities and towns on other videos. We take this for granted because we see the opposite. We just had a massive spring clean a couple of weeks ago here in Bulawayo where pretty much most of the city spent a week clearing problem littered areas in the city street by street.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

@@ncubesays I am very fortunate to travel most of Southern Africa and it is so nice to see the pride in keeping places clean. Yes not perfect but much better than most other places I visit, so congratulations and keep it up. 👍👍

Proper adventure! Thanks for sharing :) Chipinda and Chinguli look really special. Cool to catch those Matabele ants “hissing” like that. Love the digging to get level at camp 😂 And looking forward to your upcoming Bots episode! 👍👍

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

haha I thought the digging was an old trick but many have commented on that :) Thanks very much for watching and commenting Andrew. PS I believe you know my brother. He will be making a cameo appearance in the next Bots video. Hope the views dont go down 🤣

@@OverlandingwithBruce 😂😂 My boet works with your boet and no doubt that two boets on an adventure makes for proper laughs! The end of this video seemed to sum it up! Looking forward to it!

@@AndrewSenior 😂 I can see the title already: Bru like, fourways boets go Overlanding bru! 😂

We’ve (hubby and I) just finished watching all these episodes. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing our beautiful Zimbabwe again. It brings back so many memories we took for granted. We’re making new ones in Australia now, but it’s nice to reminisce. Have you ever explored the Eastern Highlands (our “home town “)?

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

That’s awesome. Thank you for watching. I did a series where I went through some of the eastern highlands. Have a look for the video with Birchenough bridge on the thumbnail. The series is called “ Chasing Smiles”

Great video Bruce. Thank you so much. I think if you take a drone with you on your next trips you will be able to explore more.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

I do have a drone with me but you are only allowed to fly in certain areas and not in the parks. Watch the next zim series where I will be using the drone a little Thank you for commenting and watching

[@simbaarasheandyncube4644]

I like the way you captured the trip Bruce, I have a question, and I believe those planning to visit the Gonarezhou game reserve might find this useful. Is there a guide/map to the locations of the campsites and how secure are they say I don't have a roof-top tent and have no camping experience, also what mechanical tools should one carry just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the great content, looking forward to more less travelled route adventures.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you Simbaarahe. I carry basic tools but it will depend on your vehicle and how much you know about using those tools. Gonarezhou had a great website you can visit. I would stick to the main camps. You don’t need a roof top tent or experience. Just get out there and enjoy. 3 important things to make sure are possible, a comfortable sleep, rehydration, and food. Use dry ice in a cooler box for your food and drink. Don’t worry about all the stuff people say you need. Enjoy and let me know how it goes Thank you for your support
