Zimbabwe, ten images

Zimbabwe is dust and stone. A country almost dead, a ghost that survives by inertia, for wild. His field is cruel, nice, messy. Zimbabwe is the Africa of yesterday. Its people are cultured and friendly but in their faces you can sense the disenchantment of everything that they are not allowed to be.. Zimbabwe kills itself in its past without knowing if it will be born again.

Goodbye Zimbabwe, Mugabe goodbye

The feeling is that the country is undone, everything is decaying. No freedom dreamed of and fought, that a leader of your own skin color does not make you free, tions from comida, no security. It could be anything this beautiful country and the blame is not the liberators of the ancient tyrants. Zimbabwe has enough resources and infrastructure legacy-still languish- to dream of something more than a patriotic salute to the black cause. The cause is to have future black shelves.

The Highlands and the last night in Zimbabwe

We walked along a narrow dirt road that is gaining ground in the middle of a forest where almost no light slips. Among lianas, branches that must be overcome under, fallen logs and following the progress of a boy who leads a path that seems eternal. Occasionally we heard the sound of water near and suddenly disappears. No one sees only the horizon.

Mana Pools: Buffalo attack, the night of hyenas

Suddenly comes a hyena that crosses in front of me, less than five meters, along the shore. At another time I guess I would have been paralyzed but not in the Mana Pools Park where one accepts the surprising part of the routine.

Matusadona: the park that does not belong to the maps

Matusadona is a treat to the senses. A unique park, very beautiful, Africa teaches from the waters. It is so removed from everything that seems to be hidden from the world, as if there's life to develop on his back, the shadows (...) This place has something of paradise vetoed, end of nowhere where I never found, of piece of land that belongs to the maps.
