  • In this episode I am crossing the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe. I stay the night at Victoria Falls and go and check out these amazing waterfalls. They are a lot more impressive than I expected, and I came a little closer to a family of warthog than I would have liked...

    Warthogs will not attack unprovoked. They are not aggressive. They are, however, dangerous if cornered (or if in rut). Just never corner one. It is the lower tusks that do the damage. They are razor sharp. If they are nearby, back up slowly and give them an out. You will not out run one nearby. They can reach 55 kph (35 mph) in short bursts.

      @No sugar No cream You are acting as if there's no tribal and religious divisions in Africa, and often times very severe and xenophobic ones. What you said is insulting to the many who have been killed, kidnapped and humiliated by others on the continent. You wrote that like you're a Pan-African nationalist from AMERICA, who knows nothing about the intricate and complicated history of Africa. I think you are much more intelligent than that, though. So just think, understand, that it's not so easy for Africans IN Africa.

    Vic falls are part of the Rift Valley, a fault line that runs all the way up the right coast line of Africa. It produced Kilimanjaro and I think ends around where Madagascar is today - which itself and along with Australia and Antartica broke away from. The Rift is a very sacred part of the world in that it produced the first humans and gave rise to some of the most unique species across the planet.
