      Agree! It was sad to see what happened here because of corrupt politics (the currency inflation and the shortage of gas was shocking). The country has so much going for it - the people are wonderful and they have one of the most magnificent wonders of the world - VICTORIA FALLS!

      Are the politicians permanent though, why doesn't zim come together as one and choose different leaders coz the one's there haven't delivered for close to 40 years, instead of zim people hoping zanu leaders will change i think its time they changed and saved the situation coz their leaders are not too concerned in their mansions and luxury vehicles

    I have been to Africa a number of times, and the thing western media doesnt tell you is how beautiful the countryside of Africa really is. Even in Somalia with all of the strife and terrible things going on when I was there, the land is stunning and wild....like you are going back in time. The people (Mostly) are welcoming and are very nice and typically very curious about Americans and are just normal people.

    I'm from South Africa and passed through Zim a couple of time to and from Zambia. Once I told my husband that if I need to live in any other African country, it will be Zim. That was about a month before the economy start to fold. That was so very very sad. I've come accross quite a few zimbabwians in South Africa and had some pupils in my class. They are always well mannered, respectful and friendly. Just love the country and its people. I pray that your economy will be restored and that you all will be able to live decent lives. Another point I want mention is that we always stays amongst the villagers in tents or their huts in whatever African country we went to. That's quite a different experience than staying in luxurious hotels. I would say it's a 1000% better experience to stay among the villagers. The people are so welcoming.

      It is a beautiful country with very softharted, polite and friendly people. My view is the people is the ones that lets Zimbabwe down. They choose the leaders and expect it to be different. If 90% of the population vote anything else but Zanu PF how are they going to stay in power. Am I missing something? Perhaps new leaders will start change for the better.

Also loved the steak at Shearwater, sometimes they have a live band playing there at night, cool place. The sunset boat cruise is the best but the long walk at the falls can be very tiring! Ironically I didn't see that much game on the game drive it wasn't very good I must say.

      Over priced, considering it's Third World & wages are low there. But still worth it. It's actually cheaper than I expected. I've read that over pricing is rampant there. Of course, we have to think in terms of the local economy, not Europe or USA. Locals probably pay $5.

      It is expensive to travel to Zimbabwe - budget around $100-$250 per day depending on how you much comfort you like in travel. There is no public transit (besides the train and there is a big gas shortage). I'd recommend traveling with a tour group.
