Hanging out above Africa's 2nd highest waterfall and a visit to Wild Is Life

Africa's 2nd highest waterfall and the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery. Zimbabwe has so much to offer, and these are two of the best things to do in this underrated country. We visit Nyanga in the Eastern Highlands to tackle the infamous SkyWalk, before learning more about the incredible project at Wild Is Life and the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery.

Full respect John, amazingly brave to do that. Thank you for showing us the epic side to Zimbabwean life. I know very little about the country except the past political based news reports. What an amazing country it is.

[@sheiladrury3144]

As much as I love your travels adventures and lifestyle the skyline was something else I can’t even go up my daughters stairs without getting a nose bleed😂but I was very brave and listened to you the animals melted my heart you are an amazing family well done John I commend you on your bravery ❤️

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Sheila! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. John almost certainly had a nosebleed on that bridge too 😂😂😂. The giraffe was epic we have been so luck this week. Thanks so much for watching friend. 🦒🙏❤️🐘

[@Sarahandlee]

A truly amazing vlog, think this is my favourite one yet. Poor John I would have been the same. You are so brave to do it I think I would have chickened out 😂😂 Wow the scene with the giraffe 🦒 was so moving as he looked at crusoe. Thanks for sharing this we really enjoyed it. 😀

[@TheNewbys]

Hi motorhoming I’m the slow lane! Thanks as always for watching. What a great week it’s been!! Very exciting! Our favourite bit was the giraffe, with Crusoe, moments like that are what it’s all about! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️🦒🦒

[@MaggieG121]

Kudos to John for walking that sky bridge. I went to the top of the Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and freaked out inside the walls! But the views that Tara showed in the video are awesome. She was very fortunate to be raised in such a gorgeous country. Thanks for sharing.

[@lindastone9385]

What a lovely podcast. I have to say John, that I am with you on heights. My legs were shaking watching you and I was lying down! Even more scary was watching Tara standing on the rock overlooking the valley! However, as for the trip to the animal sanctuary, I was blown away. Thankyou for showing this. I am in awe of how beautiful Zimbabwe is. I think after years of watching news items about the country, I had a very odd idea as to what it was like. Many thanks for a glimpse of the reality and beauty that is Zimbabwe.

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Linda! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. And, good to hear that johns not alone in his fears!! Taras so pleased to hear your comments about Zimbabwe, it’s such a beautiful country and so misunderstood and we’re so hopeful that we can somehow contribute to a change in opinion and support the people, projects and industries that rely on visitors. Have a super week and we’re excited to share the next chapter with you!

[@marko10283]

This bloke was in actual tears of laughter and admiration for that bloke showing and conquering his fear of heights.. Great video guys thank you!

[@TheNewbys]

Ha!! Thanks so much Mr O, that’s such a cool thought. Have a great week friend 😊

[@nick9139]

Hi guys. There are some words that I would never write in the comments, but I was thinking them when you were walking over those bridges. All I can say is WOW, my hat goes off to you yet again, and John's excitement feeding the Giraffe, magical ❤❤❤

[@anouksophia7399]

Congratulations Jon, overcoming your fear! Incredible experience walking high above! Love the work of these angels saving these animals. I’ve never known of a Pangolin. They are beautiful, remind me of Armadillos. Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful video! ~Cara 😊

Hi Cara and John. Thanks for always leaving us a comment it is so appreciated. Pangolins are super cool, and the elephant sanctuary was a real privilege to visit. Finger crossed for Botswana. Next week. 🤞🙏🐘🦒

Hi Heidi! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! We LOVE elephants!! John was terrified by that bridge, but we stand by our thoughts that it’s important to be brave. Phew!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍❤️🐘🙏

[@declanwatson9325]

This made me smile a lot this morning as I struggle to recover from my 2nd C19 booster. Continue to love watching the videos of your fantastic travels - it is probably fair to say that I might be living my life vicariously for 25 mins every Sunday 🤣. Not sure Crusoe could be any cuter and it is clear that you are all having a blast. Also though it was really cool that you met up with a former schoolmate.

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Declan! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. well done for recovering from you booster. You’re all set, that’s great news. We are super grateful that you chose to join us on our adventures every Sunday. Great fun. 👍🐘🙏❤️

[@anniewalden9697]

Congrats John on the crossing of the bridge! I am not sure if I could do it! Admiration for all of you!

[@janehutchinson9999]

Oh my life guys that was amazing. I felt sick myself when I saw those bridges but in true Newby style you did it. All the animals were fantastic but to see little Crusoe so close to the giraffe was brilliant, nothing bothers him, he just takes it all in his stride, or should I say crawl. Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s made me very happy. See you next week

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Jane, lovely to hear from you. Thanks as always for traveling along with us. Crusoe is certainly growing brave, the moments with the giraffe are truly what this journey is all about. Thanks for watching and for your support we are so grateful to have you along for this journey.🦒🦒🐘❤️

[@teresatucker3446]

Absolutely amazing episode! I’m with John - I too would have had jelly legs on the bridges!! And the giraffes would be a highlight for me too! The shots of Crusoe were just beautiful - what a lucky little boy he is to have you guys as parents! Can’t wait for the next episode! x

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Teresa! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! John was terrified! Tara found it hilarious! Crusoe of course as he always does just rolled with the punches and enjoyed every minute! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🐘🙏👍 PS. Next week we hope to get into Botswana. 🤞

[@alisoncoles1565]

I'm very jealous that you got to meet a pangolin, they are such beautiful creatures! Here in Dubai there is a safari park where you can also feed the giraffe, and I agree, it's a wonderful experience and such a privilege!

[@lorrainebomhof8305]

What a marvellous video as you confronted Nature at it’s wildest. Loved every minute of it. Great recording !

[@Latexhandske]

Holy shit John! You bloody did it! Next off for New Zeeland and do all the fun stuff...... What a park of paradise. To give the support to the animals when they need it the most. Respect!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Meinart. Truly, as we sit here together replying to your message, John is saying it was terrifying and he ain’t going anywhere near any more high places!! 😂😂😂 Love to the family. See you next week. 👍👍🦒🐘❤️

[@Jacqueline-es5yb]

“Courage, is not the absence of fear, but feeling the fear and doing it anyway” that was amazing show of courage John, I think anyone would have jelly legs doing that, so for someone really fearful of heights was incredible … well done all. Lovely episode, beautiful and amazing work being done by those angels caring for the animals ❤

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Jaqueline that means the world for John to hear. It was a crazy walk and John is so afraid of being up high! We loved this episode too!!👍🙏❤️

Another lovely vlog John and Tara in the beautiful Eastern Highlands of Zim. It brings back wonderful memories of The Troutbeck Inn at Inyanga and The Montclair Casino hotel at Juliasdale. Some fabulous views into Mozambique. I think the Matarazi falls that you visited are not that far from the Pungwe river falls. The whole region is stunning.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks so much Hugh! We actually had lunch at troutbeck and drove past Montclair, all still there. My uncle used to farm at Claremont in juliasdale and my parents were married in the little church there so there’s a lot of family history and memory there for us. Such a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing our journey with us, we so appreciate it.

Oh it was so lovely seeing the Eastern Highlands. Having Zim grandparents, who lost so many friends on those eastern farms during the war, seeing now little bits of the post war peace upon the land is great. My first actual video footage that I see of the East of Zim. I hope you will introduce us more to that beautiful land and it's riches. One of the first to be sold to the new world rulers. Such a sad history. Glad to see how beautiful it is and how people still try to bring life to the suffering of people and animals. Great video thank you.

WTG Jon, you did it! I know how you feel. I and my cousin walked across a suspension bridge here a few years ago. There were so many people on it healthier than us and it was swinging etc. There was no harness and I can honestly say, never again. So awesome feeding the giraffes and the elephant rescue touched my heart.

Lovely video and it brings back special memories of my visits there. Last one was 2002. The bridges weren't there then and although it would be an amazing experience walking across them I prefer to remember the Mtarazi Falls in their natural beauty without man made structures spoiling the view. You also used to be able to walk down to the top of the falls and that was a pretty spectacular view too. I didn't know about the elly sanctuary. So you are ex Zim then Tara? Me too. I look forward to watching some more of your videos in due course. God Bless.

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Hugh! Great to hear from you friend, especially an ex Zim, its been quite a week! The views of the falls are something else. Wow, we have such a wonderful country.

I’ve just met up with you all and am feeling quite fortunate to follow along on your truly epic adventures. The giraffes are so majestic and stately . I admire the support and respect the bravery of Dad crossing the bridges outside the comfort zone. Oh yes that bull elephant gave us a huge experience as well.

This is my favourite so far, but then Ive loved them all. The view on the sky walk looks wonderful, well done John for overcoming your fear, definitely worth it. The view looked like something from a film set. Its amazing how Crusoe doesn't seem bothered by the animals, many young children would look, then have that look of fear on their face, then burst in to tears, but not Crusoe just takes it all in his stride! Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure and I look forward to next weeks. Stay safe and best wishes to you all.

Hi Dave! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Crusoe is growing brave and curious for sure. We hope soon he will be walking around. It’s his 1st birthday this month. Very exciting! This was also one of our favourite vlogs. Lots of fun. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🦒🐘❤️🙏

Thank you for sharing. Will definitely look up the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery and also follow them on instagram too.
