Zimbabwe water Places !!!!!!!!!

[za000in]

Previously known as Rhodesia, Zimbabwe lies between two great African rivers, the mighty Zambezi River in the north, and the Limpopo River (http://www.flightsandbeyond.co.uk/airzimbabwe.php) in the south. Covering an area of about 375,830 square kilometres, it is best known by tourists for the Victoria Falls, a great waterfall much larger than Niagara Falls (http://www.flightsandbeyond.co.uk/airzimbabwe.php). Zimbabwe as a tourist destination is once again increasing in popularity with lots of overseas tourists as well as thousands of African tourists flocking there each year. It's a very popular stop-off point for 'overlanders' doing trips through Africa in safari-type trucks. The capital, Harare, is modern, bright and bustling, but my favourite city is Bulawayo, where the people are particularly friendly and the atmosphere is typically laid-back African. Zimbabwe is a landlocked country at the base of the African continent. Its neighbors’ are Mozambique (to the east), South Africa and Botswana (to the south and west), and Zambia (to the north). Zimbabwe lies on a high plateau, and its terrain consists primarily of grasslands bordered on the east by mountains.The mighty Zambezi River forms the northeastern border and here is where you'll find the incomparable spectacle of Victoria Falls and the magnificent expanse of Lake Kariba. Both of these are truly not to be missed - being out in the middle of the river and watching a herd of elephants wallowing in the shallows along the banks is one of life's great experiences. The Zambezi has become one of the world's best water adventure travel destinations because of the outstanding whitewater rafting in the Zambezi Gorges below the fall, as well as excellent canoeing and kayaking above them. Zimbabwe’s system of National Parks and Reserves is extensive, well-organized, and notable for the range of safari experiences and game viewing, ranging from open vehicles, night game drives; walking safaris and boat safaris in motor launchas, canoes, kayaks, and even houseboats.
