Hi Precious! Thanks a lot for your comment! The dam is built on Mtanki River. The river starts just after the Mafungautsi plateaus near an area called Machakata.
@@JamesMuganda grew up there but living in London now. I was just looking for a video to show my children where I grew up and this was the perfect one.
Looks beautiful. Our Zim is beautiful. Funny thing is in the West only rich people can afford to have a second home in the woods or country to rest on weekends. It is nice to destress away from the cities.
What a lovely comment Muchi T! Thanks a lot for dropping by! There are so many nice hidden places in Zimbabwe, that would attract a lot of tourism if well advertised and marketed!
Fantastic filming. Thank you. I am in the Uk but lived in Shabani as a child. I have also subscribed to new youtuber Thandiwe Mahleka and I enjoy Kelly Mataure and Tino Sparks and Mr Zim and others.
Oh thank a lot Cathy! It really means a lot and thanks for subscribing. I currently live in the Netherlands, but whever I visit Zimbabwe I make sure to shoot as many places in Zim I can and definitely after I am back, I will be uploading every week Zim content. Oh yeah Mr Zim, we know each other!
Thanks a lot Netsai for your comment! Highly appreciated! It helps us motivated to keep bringing you these places to wherever you are. Love from Gokwe!
Son, Masoro iDistrict iri mu Gokwe District? Anyway, thanks for the video. How far are you from Nembudziya Growth point and other growth points in that direction from Gokwe Centre? It will be great to view what has since happened there.
I would say, Masoro is a small township in the Chisina ward. And then Chisina ward is in the Gokwe South district. However a google search classifies Masoro as a hill (meaning one of the Mapfungautsi plateau). I will search more on how to classify Masoro and get back to you. And of course if you know more, I stand to be corrected! Thanks a lot for your comment. From the Nembudziya growth point, I am 100 km shy away. I will be filming the areas of Nemangwe, Nembudziya, and the like in December. So expect a view from that side end of December this year. In that case, I would encourage you to subscribe so you don't miss that content. Love from Gokwe!
The Gokwe to Kwekwe road is now paved. The road the car was trying to negotiate is from Ganyungu going towards Gokwe centre. You would pass through the likes of Masoro township...

Raymond Chikuku, exactly my impression too. I saw a body of water and thought that one could develop a resort of some sort and attract international tourists ( including from across the continent) and create job opportunities and add to economic development of the area. One could develop a business plan/ proposal and approach international angel investors or venture capitalists. Just imagine if just 500k ir 1million people in each African country adopted this developmental and entrepreneurial mentality and employed just 10 to 20 people. Soon 10 to 20 million people would be employed they and their dependents would have a monthly livelihood. We would impact lives and make our contributions to developing our economies and making our countries great. J6st imagine where our countries and Africa would be 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Let's never underestimate the contributions that employing just 5 or 10 people makes. As individuals it may seem insignificant but collectively we have immense potential to develop our economies and change the narrative of Africa.
@@AAED-NPO Wow, what an amazing insight! And my apologies for late response, been swamped up in work. Wow, i really enjoyed reading your comment. AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID. One remark though, is that the internationals (or rather the venture capitalists) don't know what Zimbabwe is because of how Zimbabwe has been performing in tge previous years. Also, the media mighy have portrayed Zimbabwe otherwise. So we, collectively as Zimbabweans should spread the word that we are open for business again! Thats this is what we have and this is what we need from you!.... thanks again for your beautiful insight. I learned a lot from it!
Nothing beats pure love pure joy. U hv very close knit family n community. Bestest times. U blessed. Gokwe is beautiful n quaint. Full of happy ppl. Awesome video
I would go there but I'd want a four-wheel-drive truck and a guide like you, James! Loved the drone footage! I see US dollars being used. Loved the dancing. : D
Hahahaha, oh yeah definitely 4 wheel drive then you will be guaranteed not to have any problems. Although life in Zimbabwe is really difficult, I always find Zimbabweans to be happy people. That sometimes makes me believe that you can't buy happiness with money
The Music doesn't show case Zimbabwe. I'm from Canada hoping to Travel to Africa. Beautiful Zimbabwe, im putting on my list with South Africa, Botwana and Nambia
Thanks a lot for your comment! Highly appreciated! Yeah you are right about the music, however I could not find any Non-copyright music from Zimbabwe to use on this video. Even the shots where people are dancing, UA-cam highlights that as Copyright claims, hence thats why you don't hear any Zim music. In the coming video however, there is recordings. Let me know when you travel to Southern Africa, might give you some pointers especially while in Zimbabwe. All the best planning!

Hi friend..any registration with your filming drone? Any idea on the actual requirements? When you brought one to Zim? I have a friend of mine in the country who has a drone but I have no idea on how it's done...do you register before coming in or??
The procedure is to register your drone with the Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe by sending an email to them and requesting the drone paper you need to fill in. The other option is just to fill in the paper (you can find it online) and then you send it to the aviation authority. Thats it.
To enter Zimbabwe with a drone you must apply to the CAAZ at least 30 days prior to your arrival date with the following information: Name and address of the drone owner Model, serial number, and manufacturer of the drone Weight and specs for the drone Country where the drone is already registered, if applicable What the drone will be used for in Zimbabwe Planned length for the planned temporary import Flight plan details After receiving approval from the CAAZ, foreigners also need to obtain a Temporary Import Permit (TIP) from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority.

@@JamesMuganda thanks very my friend you are just too good. Now the problem is their already in the country with the drone and they didn't know that they had to register before coming in.
@@zimplanetearthsighting3656 For the first two times visit to Zimbabwe the people at CAAZ took their time to respond to my email. So I went and used my drone, of course I had the papers where my drone is registered with me, I also had the form I had filled in that I was supposed to send to CAAZ once they responded.... I think if they are flying for recreational purposes that shouldnt be an issue, the Zimbabwean airspace is not really crowded. Just don't fly close to government buildings.
Hi Wagid, my sincere apologies for late response. I dont know how it happened that I forgot to respond your message. Yes I registered my drone in Zimbabwe although I didnt have to. Then I was flying commercially but now I am flying recreationally. For recreational purposes you dont need to register it. I hope I have answered you.
Great video but music dai maisa our own Zim music not saying its bad but parikudawo Zimbabwe music since you’re showcasing our motherland. Love the video keep them coming 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks a lot for your comment and suggestion Emzee! Highly appreciated! I initially thought of using Zim music, but most of the Zim music is copyrighted, such that UA-cam flags it as Copyright violation. However I did more search for non-copyright zim music and found jams. Those, i will definitely include them in future videos. Thanks a lot once again and i will keep them coming! Enjoy your day!
@@em_mzee I remembered this comment while making my latest video. Hahahahah chicommentor tinzwe music. Here is the link to the new video: ua-cam.com/video/9cfcZaymG18/v-deo.html
When the drone was in the vicinity he was screaming, "Please take that thing away from me!" And what really touched me although not showing in the video was that he was carrying his baby sister and keeping her away from the drone. One guy then offered to hold her sister. And he still continued to chase the drone away. And he wanted nothing to do with the controls at all!
It's weird that you're using Western music over and yet you say you can't play local music coz of copyright issues 🤔 I wonder what that means? Otherwise it's a good documentary
What it means is this. Think of all the music you have listened to. Someone produced that music, right? They are the owners of their music and you cannot use it unless you get permission from them, something that is called a license. So suppose I use their music without their permission, the UA-cam algorithm detects it and flags it as a violation of the music owner's rights. To the channel it comes as a Copyright strike, and trust me, thats the worst thing any youtuber can expect. Because your channel can even be deleted. However there are other musicians who make their music and allow everybody to use it (sometimes the condition is you have to give credit to the owner in the description section). The likes of the music in this video and for the rest of other video on our channel just as an example. So now think of all the local musicians you know, they are trying to make a living out of their music, so you cannot just take their music and use it without first paying them for the license. Since at FlyDriveWalkCycle we don't advertise (hence we don't generate any income), we preferred to go the cost effective way and find free music. I hope I have shed more light. My encouragement to our local artists is that they make copyright free music and them we can market their music by giving them credit and making them known to the rest of the world.

Thanks for your comment. Oh yeah about the music we totally understand if you didn't like it. We understand everyone has their own taste of music and as such we cannot make everyone happy. One option would to be to use local Zimbabwean music but there is not much copyright-free in Zimbabwe. We hope you understand that we cannot just use any type of music. If you read other comments of this video, we explain about copyrights of music and why we can't just any music. We would like to really encourage our local musicians to make at least some of their music non-copyrighted so we can promote them.

Hi Sky High, thanks for dropping by! Flying a drone in Zimbabwe, requires you to register it first with the aviation authority (CAAZ), 30 days before visiting Zimbabwe. After registration, all the basic rules applies, these are - respect people's privacy - don't fly higher than 120 m, - don't fly near airports, military bases and government building - etc For more information visit this site: earthofdrones.com/latest-drone-laws-in-zimbabwe/ If you would like to hear more about our experiences flying a drone in Zimbabwe, contact us via Facebook facebook.com/flydrivewalkcycle
Hi there Mpoli waMwaphashi, thanks a lot for dropping by! Indeed our roads need a long term solution. Sometimes they level them but when the rain comes they go bad again.
@@JamesMuganda as a white american, who has spent 10 years in Zim, and 26 in africa, i am shocked at how much africans want to be westernized. Put jonah sithole on top of this
@@Augfordpdoggie oh that's quiet some time! And I am happy that you still remember your time in Africa and in Zimbabwe specifically. I really would like to learn more about your experiences. As for Africans being westernized, I think it's the world we are in right now. Clothes are western (otherwise we still will be wearing animal skins), phones are western (otherwise we still would be sounding horns). There is a thin line between being westernized and moving on with the world. I live in the Netherlands, I learned a lot from Europe which I think would benefit the African community if I share with them. But while there in Europe, I see many women working on their tan, which is purely African. I go to a club in Amsterdam and they are playing African music. Shall we say Westerners have been Southernized?

Great video but music dai maisa our own Zim music not saying its bad but parikudawo Zimbabwe music since you’re showcasing our motherland. Love the video keep them coming 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks a lot for your comment and suggestion Emzee! Highly appreciated! I initially thought of using Zim music, but most of the Zim music is copyrighted, such that UA-cam flags it as Copyright violation. However I did more search for non-copyright zim music and found jams. Those, i will definitely include them in future videos.
Thanks a lot once again and i will keep them coming! Enjoy your day!
@@JamesMugandathat's great,thank you will be waiting for more

Proudly gokwerian too Sally! Thanks for dropping by! Hope you subscribed because hatisati tapedza nayo Gokwe
Nice video. Please help with that type of Drone you were using. I wana buy one for my videos
Thanks a lot Manue! Awesome! The drone I used is called DJI Mini 2. It's a pretty little beast! Very reliable and have not had any problems.
That little boy did not want to take the controls.😂
When the drone was in the vicinity he was screaming, "Please take that thing away from me!" And what really touched me although not showing in the video was that he was carrying his baby sister and keeping her away from the drone. One guy then offered to hold her sister. And he still continued to chase the drone away. And he wanted nothing to do with the controls at all!
@@JamesMuganda I saw him behind the guy in the doorway. He seemed seriously upset. lol, shame.
@@grumpysod9029 i guess its something everyone will remind him of when he is grown up!

It's weird that you're using Western music over and yet you say you can't play local music coz of copyright issues 🤔 I wonder what that means? Otherwise it's a good documentary
What it means is this. Think of all the music you have listened to. Someone produced that music, right? They are the owners of their music and you cannot use it unless you get permission from them, something that is called a license.
So suppose I use their music without their permission, the UA-cam algorithm detects it and flags it as a violation of the music owner's rights. To the channel it comes as a Copyright strike, and trust me, thats the worst thing any youtuber can expect. Because your channel can even be deleted.
However there are other musicians who make their music and allow everybody to use it (sometimes the condition is you have to give credit to the owner in the description section). The likes of the music in this video and for the rest of other video on our channel just as an example.
So now think of all the local musicians you know, they are trying to make a living out of their music, so you cannot just take their music and use it without first paying them for the license. Since at FlyDriveWalkCycle we don't advertise (hence we don't generate any income), we preferred to go the cost effective way and find free music.
I hope I have shed more light. My encouragement to our local artists is that they make copyright free music and them we can market their music by giving them credit and making them known to the rest of the world.

Very good work. Brilliant shots. I would have loved to hear the voice of the villagers, especially the local history and stories.
Thanks a lot for your comment and suggestion! I will indeed take that into consideration in my next video I am making. Awesome suggestion Edmore!
Wow another level

Nice vidro but why play this type of music. It’s annoying
Thanks for your comment. Oh yeah about the music we totally understand if you didn't like it. We understand everyone has their own taste of music and as such we cannot make everyone happy. One option would to be to use local Zimbabwean music but there is not much copyright-free in Zimbabwe. We hope you understand that we cannot just use any type of music. If you read other comments of this video, we explain about copyrights of music and why we can't just any music. We would like to really encourage our local musicians to make at least some of their music non-copyrighted so we can promote them.

What are the rules for flying a drone in zim, I'm planning to get 1 next time I visit zim
Hi Sky High, thanks for dropping by! Flying a drone in Zimbabwe, requires you to register it first with the aviation authority (CAAZ), 30 days before visiting Zimbabwe. After registration, all the basic rules applies, these are
- respect people's privacy
- don't fly higher than 120 m,
- don't fly near airports, military bases and government building
- etc

Thanks a lot for the remark. I always try different music to see what the audience likes. Have you checked out other videos on my channel?
@@JamesMuganda as a white american, who has spent 10 years in Zim, and 26 in africa, i am shocked at how much africans want to be westernized. Put jonah sithole on top of this
@@Augfordpdoggie oh that's quiet some time! And I am happy that you still remember your time in Africa and in Zimbabwe specifically. I really would like to learn more about your experiences. As for Africans being westernized, I think it's the world we are in right now. Clothes are western (otherwise we still will be wearing animal skins), phones are western (otherwise we still would be sounding horns). There is a thin line between being westernized and moving on with the world. I live in the Netherlands, I learned a lot from Europe which I think would benefit the African community if I share with them. But while there in Europe, I see many women working on their tan, which is purely African. I go to a club in Amsterdam and they are playing African music. Shall we say Westerners have been Southernized?
