Tuesday 5th March

Heading back south today towards Hwange National Park. Had to go and see the “Big Tree” which is a 1200 year old baobab. Went to ATM to get some dollars. Tried three cards before I got anything. Making payments with cards a nightmare. Economy is shot. Goods in supermarkets priced in old worthless currency , have to divide by 17,000 to get price in dollars. Bizarre. Expensive country. Diesel same price as UK , wine twice the price as SA, National park fees for 2 days $100. $230 to enter the country, all going to a corrupt government I suspect. People are charming and intelligent. Such a shame. Drought in all areas and small farmers have no food , maize crops up here non existent. Arrived Robins Camp in Hwange NP at 12.30. Nice camp and lodge area. Had a swim and went for a game drive at 4pm. Saw large herd of buffalo, Zebra and Waterbuck. Hot
