Breaking & shocking news
Even though we are meanwhile in Zambia, we are shocked by breaking news from Zimbabwe: A German woman was trampled to death by an elephant in Zimbabwe last Wednesday. In Mana Pools – exactly at the place we had left three days before. And yes, the elephants are very often very close there. You don’t…

Hello Zambia … this greeting was not necessary!
On the very first day in Zambia, I already receive a ticket for speeding. I will survive the penalty. 300 Kwatcha (the local currency) is about 22 Euro. I think I should frame the ticket. Because our 29 year old Toyo can be proud of having driven too fast. Kaum sind wir in Sambia, erhalte…

Meanwhile in Darmstadt
For a few days we will remain silent now. This blogpost will be published while we are already in the Mana Pools National Park. Far away from any internet but in the middle of an untouched nature. We’ll come back with some wildlife photos. In den nächsten Tagen herrscht Sendepause. Wenn Ihr das lest, sind…

Fuel shortage rocks Zim
My headline of today’s blog post comes from the headline of a local daily newspaper. The shortage of fuel caused by a lack of foreign currency does not bypass us either. In Bulawayo we got diesel at the fourth filling station. In our next destination, Chinhoyi, we ran through all the petrol stations and got…
