The name Victoria Falls will be removed as soon as Zambia and Zimbabwe get to it. There is simply no reason for it. We would be better off calling Winnie Mandela Falls, Nzinga Falls, Fidel Castro Falls, Yuri Brezhnev Falls, leave it as Musi O Tunya Falls, or use its original name, Shungu Namutitima. The worst name for our falls is Victoria Falls. Sad and disgraceful that we have not fixed this

Ah i loved this video. Omw we were blessed to drive through Zimbabwe many years ago. We did all the tourist stops and even got to river raft down the Zambezi. We stayed in all the Government parks and were treated so well by the beautiful Zimbabweans. We did the Motopos, Hwange Park, Vic Falls and Caught Tiger fish on lake Kariba. Stayed in lodges where the animals walked in front of your door and Elephants grazed a few meters from your barbeque. Zimbabwe is truly a special place. One of my best holidays ever. We went in summer and the heat was hectic but the bush was green and lush. So loved seeing how emotional you both were looking and experiencing the falls. It really is mind blowing.

@@therefineryzim9273 Yes, at most it can be said Livingstone was one of the first Westerners who saw the Victoria Waterfalls and named it.

( It is situated in Kuruman in the Northern Cape South Africa.) Livingstone worked for the National Geographic Magazine and they sponsored all his travels. He towed poor Mary Moffat Livingston to all the godforsaken places on earth. She did not have a strong constitution and succumbed somewhere in the wilderness.

As one married to a Shona man from Vic Falls, I can attest from living there with them, the people in Zim are just the kindest of anywhere I've traveled. This video makes me miss Zim so much & I just hope one day despite the pot holed road & busy cities, we can move back there. There's so much to see & do there with elephant herds, lots of croc & hippos & cape buffalo & wart hogs & all kinds of things right there in the bush. Safe travels & thank you for the video. And I just loved your kind care free attitude. Just beautiful. (I commiserated with the road conditions. We got a flat in our rental car driving from Vic Falls to Bulawayo when I hit a pot hole much faster than I should have been driving.) This way Zim doesn't need state patrol. The road dictates slow driving. 😉

I thought I would skip through your adventure but ended up watching the whole thing!! Wonderful. Pity that the highways are in a bad state but they are revamping them slowly. Fingers crossed Trudy can come back for another smooth go!! Grew up in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and now call England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 home, but Zimbabwe will always be roots.

How did we end up here guys? Through courage, determination and a sense of adventure. You deserve the joy you receive. Just hope you have time for Cape Town and Drakensburg.

The railway line you crossed on the Hawange National Park road, was the longest straight railway line in the World. 40 minutes before the steam trains arrival at Dett Station you could see its light. The dry seed of that food is sucked till you have only the brown pip left.

The west coast of Africa or South Africa and Namibia is incredible - stunning! Then go down to Cape Town and the Garden Route.

Trudy is doing good 🤩. On another note, I can see that the Honda Jazz/FIT is the toughest little car in the world. They are everywhere. 😍

It's 31 years since I visited Zimbabwe, went over to spend some time with my classmates after we graduated from University in Edinburgh. The people were so warm and friendly. Back then, you could take the sleeper train from Bulawayo to Vic Falls, it was only £7 each way in first class! Brilliant times and experiences.

The little animal is a Rock Hyrax or locally known as a Dassie. Believe it or not. based on bone structure the closest relation is an Elephant.

Got lots of them in our street in Westville KZN.

Not a Rock Hyrax but a Bush Hyrax. Conspicuous white patch above the eyes (eyebrows).

Bush babies...i know them as.

@marketingwizdom 5 ай бұрын

@@ceumota5697 they are not bush babies. They are Rock Hyrax. Bush babies are completely different. Bush babies are small primates with large eyes, long tails, and strong hind legs for leaping. They are nocturnal and known for their agility in trees. In contrast, rock hyraxes are small, terrestrial mammals with short limbs and stout bodies, closely related to elephants, and they are typically found on rocky terrains.

Brown, yellow and dusty because it is winter. The bushveld is stunning when it rains.

I'm so so glad that I first saw the Vic Falls in 1979 and we were the only 3 people there!!!! Razor wire instead of wooden fence and no charge

After 50 years, everything seems so familiar except that the roads were smooth then, and the entrance to the Victoria Falls was free.......

I know I'll mis Trudy, Chris, & Maryann on Sunday mornings after they ship back into the UK. Been quite the world trip over all these past years. Thanks for sharing the ride friends, good luck, and... 👍 Rock on 🙂.

Keep the roof and windows of Trudy closed as snakes could enter. A snake can follow the scent of a squirrel. Don't share information such as having a stash of dollars as it will make you a target. Super content. The infrastructure in Africa can be challenging to say the least. Road maintenance is not high on priority. The nature and sun makes up for the inconvenience.

Thank you for bringing us with you on your trip. I got very homesick and teary-eyed watching this episode. Was born and raised in Rhodesia and left Zims in '83. It still is such a magic country, even after all these years.
