Masiku ano, anthu ambiri akupatsa Zimbabwe mwayi waukulu. Amachita izi pazifukwa zingapo: choyamba, "Kodi ndizotetezeka?" ndipo chachiwiri, “N’chifukwa chiyani kuika ndalama m’bokosi la Zimbabwe?”
Ndimayenda kuzungulira Zimbabwe nthawi ndi nthawi, kotero ndikuganiza kuti nditha kuyankha mafunso amenewo. Ndizotetezeka, koma zimatha kukwiyitsa. Pali zotchinga m'misewu m'njira zonse zazikulu. Nthawi zambiri apolisi ndi aubwenzi, koma akhoza kukhala mosiyana. Zikapanda kutero, amasangalatsidwa ndi zolemba zonse zolondola. Chifukwa chiyani mumayika ndalama m'bokosi la Zimbabwe? Chabwino, Zimbabwe si Robert Mugabe yekha ndi anzake. Zimbabwe ndi yochulukirapo kuposa pamenepo. Ndi dziko la anthu ochezeka komanso malo abwino oti muwone. Ndikudziwa kuti sindingathe kusintha zomwe zikuchitika ku Zimbabwe; kaya ndipite kapena ayi sizitanthauza kanthu.
Posachedwapa ndinapita ku Bulawayo kenako ku Harare. Popita ku Harare, ndinali ndekha, koma sindinali ndi nkhawa. Zomangamanga zikugwa pang'onopang'ono - maenje ochepa apa ndi apo, magetsi samagwira ntchito kawirikawiri, zikwangwani zikugwa. Apolisi ambiri anali osangalala mpaka ndinagwidwa ndi imodzi mwa misampha yawo yothamanga. Poyamba mmodzi wa apolisi achichepere anafuna kuti ndipite kupolisi kotsatira ndi kukawonekera kukhoti. Komabe, pomalizira pake anandipatsa chindapusa cha US$20, ndipo ndinanyamukanso. Zikuoneka kuti dziko la Zimbabwe lili ndi ndalama zogulira misampha yothamanga kwambiri – inali yochuluka – koma mwanjira ina ikuoneka kuti ikulephera kudyetsa anthu awo.
Pobwerera ku Livingstone kuchokera ku Harare, titanyamula mnzathu, Josh, tinaima pa Hwange Safari Lodge. Ndimakonda kwambiri Hwange Safari Lodge: ndi malo, malo, malo. Malo ogonawa ali kunja kwa Hwange National Park m'malo achinsinsi. Mawonedwe ochokera kumalo ogona ndi kupsinjika maganizo, m'mphepete mwa nkhalango ya teak; Kukhumudwa kumakhala ndi dzenje lamadzi, lomwe limaponyedwa ndi madzi ndipo limayatsidwa usiku.
Ndakhala maola ambiri ndikuyang'ana chitsimecho, osafuna kuchoka. Josh, katswiri wa zomangamanga, akulongosola zokopazo kukhala “zowopsa ndi malo opatulika.” Kukhala pansi ndikuyang'ana pobowo ndi kotetezeka mkati mwa malo ogona, koma pa dzenje lamadzi, nyama zakutchire zimawopseza. Mmodzi wa operekera zakudya anatiuza kuti miyezi ingapo yapitayo, mkango unayendayenda mu hoteloyo, mpaka kumalo olandirira alendo, kenako kuzungulira chipinda chogona. Ndikhoza kuganiza kuti zikanakhala zosangalatsa.
Hwange Safari Lodge ili ndi zipinda 100 ndipo kale inali yotanganidwa kwambiri. Tsopano, ngakhale, sichimachezeredwa kwambiri; ndife anthu okha amene tinagona usiku umenewo. Ikuwoneka yotopa ndipo ikufunika chisamaliro apa ndi apo. Izi, komabe, zilibe kanthu. Mtengo wa US $ 120 kwa anthu awiri, kugona ndi kadzutsa, ndi mtengo wabwino kwambiri. Chakudya ndi ntchito ndi zabwino - ena mwa ogwira nawo ntchito akhalapo kwa zaka zambiri.
Hwange Safari Lodge ili pamtunda wa makilomita 180 kuchokera ku Victoria Falls. Zoonadi, tauni ya Victoria Falls idakali yotanganidwa komanso yotchuka. Ndi kadumpha kakang'ono chabe kuchokera kumeneko kupita kumalo amatsenga awa. Ndithu analimbikitsa.
