Here we rented a car at Europcar, apparently the only car rental company available, although the car did not have the latest model and in any case with more than 100,000 km. sleep in <strong>Bulawayostrong> and book a tour with local tour operator, to 300 000 pounds for about a week, including 5 flights with Air Zimbabwe, nights in 4 and 5 star hotels, breakfast and local excursions included a cabbage. So the next day and I mark riconsegnamo car at the airport and take the old Boeing 737-200 to land to Victoria Falls airport. We are here to take a minibus and take us to the Victoria Falls village, right on the edge of the mythical waterfall and the border with Zambia.<br />The hotel that we assign is the most famous, even Queen Victoria opened it. His garden is well kept as well as throughout the hotel, baboons and warthogs roam along with vervets in length and breadth of the pool, the magnificent view of the large bridge that connects the two states is right there in front.<br />Following the breakfast buffet with all good things and then hike to waterfalls and other attractions.<br />Late afternoon we escorted to the airport, here I make the short flight of my life with a airplane jet, only 20 minutes, this time called Jumbolino BA 146. We land at the airport where <strong>Hwangestrong> National Park before landing a 'car moves from track zebras and wildebeest.<br /><strong>Hwangestrong> Safari Lodge Hotel is unique separate from the national park by a moat that prevents cats and dangerous animals to move through the gardens of the hotel so that we tourists would just by the pool, enjoy live nature, more later lead us to make a safari.<br />The next day we fly to Kariba and repeat the procedure here, nice hotel and excursions, visit the High Dam built by the Italians, responsible for the creation of Lake Kariba.<br />We arrived at the end of this tour, with two flights back and touch the capital <strong>Hararestrong> to <strong>Bulawayostrong>.
