  • The MIGHTY ZAMBEZI & The GREAT ZIMBABWE RUINS | Ep2
    An overlanding adventure drive like no other, in the second episode of this 3 part series, as we head out from Chitake Springs to the Nyamepi campsites, and then onwards to the Mucheni campsites. Spending a total of 6 nights in the Mana Pools National Park, we then travel to Harare and onwards to Masvingo, where I visit the UNESCO world heritage site that is the Great Zimbabwe ruins. Where to next?

    Once again, a truly stunning adventure well told. When I came to South Africa in March we flew over Zimbabwe in daylight, what a green lush country it is. Thanks again for this video.

    Thank you for visiting Great Zimbabwe and sharing our rich Karanga history. Great Zimbabwe was the brainchild of Mwene Mutapa Mungwabu Rusvingo in the 11th century. The Conical structure was constructed by Mwene Mutapa Mombemuriwo in honour of his great ancestor Sororenzou. Sororenzou's spirit abandoned the site after a civil war broke out.
    The Mwene Mutapa dynasty lasted for some 500 years.
    Look out for my book titled " North of the Limpopo : A Fascinating History of Ancient Zimbabwe"
