We took a short hour flight from Victoria Falls to Harare the capital of Zimbabwe.
Our hotel for the week is the Bronte Garden which was built in 1911 as a private residence. The grounds and colonial style are beautiful.
The brothers and sisters at the hotel delegates information desk were very welcoming and helpful.
Delegates received a sling bag with the attractive elephant logo for the convention.
We had a 6:45 am departure for our first activity, a visit to the Pamuzinda Safari Lodge about 90 minutes from Harare.
This street sign caught my eye. Which street would you choose to visit???
3 buses of delegates met at the Pamuzinda Safari Lodge to enjoy a morning of animal encounters and jeep game drives followed by lunch.
Jasmine is the resident giraffe. She was orphaned and raised on the property with the horses so the guide said she thinks she is a horse :).
A herd of wildebeest.
Our guide Wayne explained that the female zebra will separate from the herd to give birth. She will spend 2-3 weeks with her newborn foal so it can visually imprint on the mother’s stripe pattern. She will then always be able to pick the mom out of the herd.
The Vervet monkey is known to be very cheeky and will steal your food if you are not careful.
