Hwange Day 1

We travelled by plane, van, and Jeep to Kashawe Camp inside Zimbabwe’s largest park, Hwange (pronounced wang-eee). This park is roughly the size of New Jersey.

We rode in the van with the group of people we will be spend these nearly three weeks with: a couple from San Francisco with her cousin and their 24-year-old son, a mother and her two adult daughters from North and South Carolina, and us: the four of us plus Chris’s parents.

I’m so tired because I had lousy sleep in the comfortable hotel last night (go figure), so here’s a quick rundown of the sights we’ve seen on our journey here:

A tiny village of thatched-roofed huts with one water pump

A coal mine

Red billed hornbill

Guinea fowl

Roxk irax

Tree squirrel

Warthog

Impala

Baobab tree

Troop or congress of baboons

Double breasted sand grouse

White-bunted bee eatet

Elephants!!

Dwarf mongoose

Night night.
