    “Courage, is not the absence of fear, but feeling the fear and doing it anyway” that was amazing show of courage John, I think anyone would have jelly legs doing that, so for someone really fearful of heights was incredible … well done all. Lovely episode, beautiful and amazing work being done by those angels caring for the animals ❤

    • @TheNewbys

    What a lovely podcast. I have to say John, that I am with you on heights. My legs were shaking watching you and I was lying down! Even more scary was watching Tara standing on the rock overlooking the valley! However, as for the trip to the animal sanctuary, I was blown away. Thankyou for showing this. I am in awe of how beautiful Zimbabwe is. I think after years of watching news items about the country, I had a very odd idea as to what it was like. Many thanks for a glimpse of the reality and beauty that is Zimbabwe.

    • @TheNewbys

      Hi Linda! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. And, good to hear that johns not alone in his fears!! Taras so pleased to hear your comments about Zimbabwe, it’s such a beautiful country and so misunderstood and we’re so hopeful that we can somehow contribute to a change in opinion and support the people, projects and industries that rely on visitors. Have a super week and we’re excited to share the next chapter with you!

    Oh my life guys that was amazing. I felt sick myself when I saw those bridges but in true Newby style you did it. All the animals were fantastic but to see little Crusoe so close to the giraffe was brilliant, nothing bothers him, he just takes it all in his stride, or should I say crawl. Thanks so much for sharing this, it’s made me very happy. See you next week

    Another lovely vlog John and Tara in the beautiful Eastern Highlands of Zim. It brings back wonderful memories of The Troutbeck Inn at Inyanga and The Montclair Casino hotel at Juliasdale. Some fabulous views into Mozambique. I think the Matarazi falls that you visited are not that far from the Pungwe river falls. The whole region is stunning.

    • @TheNewbys
      @TheNewbys  2 роки тому

      Thanks so much Hugh! We actually had lunch at troutbeck and drove past Montclair, all still there. My uncle used to farm at Claremont in juliasdale and my parents were married in the little church there so there’s a lot of family history and memory there for us. Such a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for sharing our journey with us, we so appreciate it.

Continue to love watching the videos of your fantastic travels - it is probably fair to say that I might be living my life vicariously for 25 mins every Sunday 🤣. Not sure Crusoe could be any cuter and it is clear that you are all having a blast. Also though it was really cool that you met up with a former schoolmate.

Such a wonderful place for the baby and juvenile Elephants hopefully they can be returned to the wild successfully. It’s a great that they have a second chance. Caruso is growing ever so quickly crawling and keeping you in your toes before you know it he will be up on his feet.

    Hi I joined your journey when travel beans featured you on their travels. I quickly got hooked and have gone back to the start to follow your amazing journey. I’m loving watching Crusoe growing up from the day he was born. Such an amazing start to his life. Beautiful family. Keep it up xx

    This is my favourite so far, but then Ive loved them all. The view on the sky walk looks wonderful, well done John for overcoming your fear, definitely worth it. The view looked like something from a film set. Its amazing how Crusoe doesn't seem bothered by the animals, many young children would look, then have that look of fear on their face, then burst in to tears, but not Crusoe just takes it all in his stride! Thanks for sharing this wonderful adventure and I look forward to next weeks. Stay safe and best wishes to you all.

      Hi Dave! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Crusoe is growing brave and curious for sure. We hope soon he will be walking around. It’s his 1st birthday this month. Very exciting!
      This was also one of our favourite vlogs. Lots of fun. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 🦒🐘❤️🙏

I think I’ll have a pint as well actually it’s only 9am here I better hang back for a bit I think I’ll have a swim down at the beautiful Balmoral beach cheers🍻 … just before I go I’m blown away with seeing the amazing pangolin, my granddaughters favourite animal she is so aware of the terrible trafficking 🥲

    Lovely video and it brings back special memories of my visits there. Last one was 2002. The bridges weren't there then and although it would be an amazing experience walking across them I prefer to remember the Mtarazi Falls in their natural beauty without man made structures spoiling the view. You also used to be able to walk down to the top of the falls and that was a pretty spectacular view too. I didn't know about the elly sanctuary. So you are ex Zim then Tara? Me too. I look forward to watching some more of your videos in due course. God Bless.

    • @TheNewbys
      @TheNewbys  2 роки тому

      Hi Hugh! Great to hear from you friend, especially an ex Zim, its been quite a week! The views of the falls are something else. Wow, we have such a wonderful country.

    WTG Jon, you did it! I know how you feel. I and my cousin walked across a suspension bridge here a few years ago. There were so many people on it healthier than us and it was swinging etc. There was no harness and I can honestly say, never again.
    So awesome feeding the giraffes and the elephant rescue touched my heart.
