Zimbabwe: The beautiful sadness

The sun sets over Bumi Hills and Lake Kariba as anglers pull out their last fish for the day.

Jan and Alida Stander admire the view over Mucheni Gorge in the Chizarira National Park. Chances are that you"ll be the only one there.

This unusual view of the Victoria Falls can be reached by negotiating a set of steep, slippery stairs right next to the main falls. During the rainy season, with the Zambezi in flood, you"ll need a raincoat.

Vervet monkeys rule the roost at Inyathi Valley Motel & Rest Camp & Caravan Park, a budget campsite in Vic Falls.

Road maintennace is virtually non-existent in Matsudona National Park. Here, we had to hack our way past a baobab tree pushed over by elephants.

The area around the waterhole at the Shumba picnic site is trampled, which indicates its importance during the dry season.

Trust Mudimba and Mixture Donga enjoy some mangoes at the Shumba picnic site in Hwange National Park.
