Zimbabwe

What can I say about this place?!? Zimbabwe is amazing, and definitely an underrated tourist destination. My first reaction when we crossed into Zimbabwe was amazement, but I figured that was just the super touristy Vic Falls. Nope! Haven't ceased to amazing me. The people are extremely nice, people don't try to rip you off, they'll leave you alone if asked (for the most part), we haven't seen too many drunkards, the police are polite, and there are special tourism police around all the attractions, so it is super safe. 

There was also a train, which we took from Vic Falls to Bulawayo. 

Our two big stops here (excluding the falls) are Matopo National Park and The Great Zimbabwe Ruins. 

Matopo National Park was a stop so we could see rhinos (the last one of The Big Five for both Cam and I to see in the wild).  We also got to see ancient cave paintings and watch the sunset from the top of one of the tallest mountains in the park. 

Great Zimbabwe, the namesake of the country and where they found a stone carving of a fish eagle that is now the national seal, is a extremely underrated attraction. How more people don't know about it, I don't understand. It's 14th century stone ruins that are put together with no mortar. The biggest wall is 11m (36ft) high!
