Kariba to Antelope Park!
4th August!
So after two fabulous nights on the house boat and
another two on the shores of Kariba, we headed off to Antelope Park in
Gweru. I persuaded Temba to stop for some biltong just outside Karoi.
Turns out his home town is Karoi. We stopped for biltong in Chinyoi as
there was none in Karoi that was dry as Buffulo Downs had only just
started the next batch possibly due to the end of school holidays.
In Chinyoi at the Lions Den butchers they happened to
be making steak rolls in a small tent on the side of the road for $4.
Half the people on the truck lined up for them and boy oh boy did they
taste so flippin good! Yum yum… It was interesting seeing the landscape
on our way to Antelope Park. No farms at all as we passed through
Chegutu and then Kwekwe. We finally arrived at Antelope Park just in
time for a welcoming traditional dance and drink and to put our tents up
in before dark. The next day is going to be packed full of activities
ranging from lion feeding, lion walks to cub viewing – yes there are 7
week old cubs!! And it turns out when I was here 4 years ago, the lions
Sara and Sarai that I walked with last time, the cubs are Sarai’s first.
So I would have walked with the mom and played with the kids by the
time we update on the happenings at Antelope Park for the next 3 days!
