“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.”
● Beryl Markham

In the second half of the 15th century Great Zimbabwe came to an abrupt end and its successor, the Khami, developed both the stone building techniques and the pottery styles found at Great Zimbabwe and seeded a number of smaller sites over a wide region of the southern and western plateau. The Khami Ruins rarely pop up in people’s mind when they are on holiday in Zimbabwe and many tour guides even leave it out of their itinerary but that does not diminish its status as a World Heritage Site that is worth a visit as it is a remarkably interesting place. Spend a few hours in Khami Ruins, comprising of a hill complex, Portuguese Cross, Dam Wall, the gong and a site museum. Apart from these, the entire area reflects the aura of the bygone era.

With a fall of 108m, the Rainbow Falls are the highest section of the Falls. When at maximum flow it is a roaring torrent, at other times it consists of numerous cascading rivulets and the fine spray results in a near permanent double rainbow. Given this marked variation, the local Toka-Leya refer to this section as Nsyungu Mufu(mist of the dead), associating it with the very cycle of life and death and the role of the ancestral spirits who they believe mediate with the abstract deity, Leza, which lives in the chasm below.

To understand the formation of the Falls, one has to look at the underlying geology and the ancient tectonic processes that shaped ancestral Africa. The main bedrock in the Victoria Falls area is basalt, a dark volcanic rock formed around 180 million years ago.
The basalt stretches some 200km from Kazangulu on the Botswana border to the Matetsi River confluence in the Batoka Gorge.

Masvingo has gone through a variety of name change; initially called Fort Victoria after then reigning British monarch. It was officially amanded to simply Victoria in 1899 but after international post for the Australian territory of Victoria was being received in error, thr prefix 'Fort' was reinstated in 1929. After independence in 1980 the town was briefly named Nyanda after a prominent ridge hills on it's southwestern territory. Local disagreement as to it's meaning especially across different dialects as well as potential confusion with the spirit medium Mbuya Nehanda, saw the name changed after few months to Masvingo - a Shona word for fortifications.

It had never been seen before by European eyes; but scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight."

The people who now live around the borders of Hwange National Park are descents of the Leya, who crossed the Zambezi River from Zambia in the 18th century. The Leya later changed their name to the Nambya, and their King, Dende, also renamed himself Sawanga, later Wange, from where the park takes its name.
