Matusadona to Kariba

Just want to demonstrate your
support?

We ended
up spending a week at Tashinga before setting off
for the Changachirere Parks post, which is the
northern part of Matusadona, close to Spurwing
Island. The walk took us two days and was a
fantastic experience, although both of our minds
spent much of the time elsewhere.

 Make
a Plan: Jumpstarting a vehicle without cables.
Stranded in a vehicle with a flat
battery? With a second vehicle as a help and with a set of
touch cables handy it is no problem - but what do you do if
no cables are available?

Dignity in Flight.
The sun set
a burnished copper over the Linyanti
river as the hippos bellowed angrily 20
meters away. They made threatening
displays by looking up and opening their
mouths widely to show off their
formidable tusks – tusks that kill more
people in Africa annually than any other
animal. Here in the wild Caprivi strip
on the northern Botswana/Namibian border
there are no camping fees to be paid and
no one to pay them to. |

The .17 Remington goes to AFRICA. The
recent introduction of new .17 caliber cartridges has brought with
it a rebirth of interest in this often misunderstood, and often ‘misabused’,
caliber.

 The Greatest
Threat to African Wildlife: Exploring ostrich behavior Part 2.
Conservationists during
the colonial era established game reserves and national parks from
which rural people were evicted and the natural resources locked
away behind game fences. Rural people were not allowed access to
these resources any longer but towards the end of the colonial era,
although there was smoldering resentment at having been evicted from
their original lands, most rural black people were still reasonably
content with their living conditions.

Hunting the mtagati.
Mid
April. In south western Zimbabwe the Wild Syringa is always the
first to hint that summer is just about over, and the bright yellow
leaves looked beautiful. My old Toyota land cruiser rocked lightly side to
side in the soft mangwe sand. We were following the old Embakwe
Mission road, heading south. Botswana lay only a dozen miles to my
west – or right hand side – and looking that way I could see the
endless miles of monotonous grey thorn and stunted Mopani stretching
away to the horizon.

The oldest way to make fire would have been to carry
a burning coal around from a natural fire, and to keep it smoldering
in dry plant material that can hold a burning coal for long periods
of time. Dry tinder can be added to the coal, and then blown on to
form flames. The problem with this method is that the coal can burn
out, and the coal needs new plant material over long periods of time
to keep smoldering. It may have been difficult to travel long
distances in wet conditions with a burning coal wrapped in such
plant materials.l.
