I discovered you after your incident at the airport with the immigration officials went viral, i have been following your vlogs in zim, they are so entertaining and eye opening, i dont think anyone has ever captured or covered zim the way you have done, im zimbabwean but seeing you showcasing our country, our people, our way of life, makes me appreciate what you do keep it up girl u earned a subscriber to your channel

This young guide and all the young people featured are so calm, peaceful and friendly. It's remarkable and impressive how people in Zimbabwean "hoods" are so resourceful and always looking for legal ways to make an honest living, while always smiling. This is so inspiring. Thank you for these important videos. You're documenting important African histories without even realising it. They will never tell lies about our African people and countries again.

[@MegaLmae]

I respect you for interacting with the locals. I think they call it 'conscientious tourism'. It's been a growing thing in recent years. I first saw it in Zanzibar. In addition to visiting the traditional tourist resorts, people now visit the locals/natives to see how they live. Some go as far as identifying e.g. local orphanages and dropping a grocery or a donation. There is something real and fulfilling about doing this sort of thing, rather than restricting yourself in a 5 star facility and pretending there isn't a whole lot of a Chinotimba just behind the walls.

Just a small note. African Tigress_ I have been following you since your Bujumbura to Kigali Road Trip with Miss Trudy in 2019. I have never been brave enough to comment. Your resilience is remarkable. Your vlogs style, presentation and content are getting better and better. Nice of you to mix with the locals. You captured a reality that adds flavour to your vlogs. Very well done. Watching from Australia.

Awesome Tigress! This is a side of your showcasing videos which is not shown to Africa & world at large. Having visited the Victoria Falls several times, one is totally unaware of the existence of back-drop places like Chinotimba were the invisible indigenous under classes reside. I think Big Boy did a good job escorting Tigress around and gave us a good idea of how the vast majority - the 'other side' in Zimbabwe really live. Thank you Tigress.👍

I can't wait for 2022,been doing so much research about the future of Zimbabwe economy and my research has yielded positive results.So I can't wait to start planning my Great return before the Rush.Yes there is going to be a big rush to move to Zimbabwe when the Industrial Revolution,energy revolution takes off in Zimbabwe,so better get property while its still affordable. To those Zimbos in Diaspora,make an effort to visit at least in 2022 coz something is shifting,the Pearl of Africa is about to shine again. Other nations are called Heart of Africa,or Gateway to Africa,or Giant of Africa,but Zimbabwe is known as the Pearl(Crown jewel) of Africa,in that its a small nation with so much quality to offer.We had lost that title for decades,now we are ready to reclaim it back.Viva Zimbabwe.

The economic activity in Victoria falls town is tourism and some workers stay in chinotimba. So when you visit vicfalls some of your spending trickles to chinotimba as salaries of hotel staff who reside in chinotimba who then pay rentals there and send kids to that pre school shown and get hair cur at that barber and thus support livelihoods. Do please visit vicfalls for holiday !
