“In the flat barren landscape of the western Kalahari, some 50km west of the village of Sepupa on the banks of Panhandle, the sheer quartzite cliff-faces of the four Tsodilo Hills rise majestically above the surrounding savannah.
The enigmatic and spiritual quality of the hills was noted by the famous author Sir Laurens van der Post in his book “The Lost World of the Kalahari… Archaeological studies have revealed that this area has been occupied by humans for at least 100,000 years. There are paintings on all the hills that cover 9 km2 of rock in a 22 km2 area. ” Reference: Wikipedia

“A once in a lifetime opportunity, to travel an age-old route across Africa from Cairo to Cape Town, but this time by private plane… Imagine – a flying safari from the Pyramids at Giza, to the Gorillas in Rwanda, over Victoria Falls, all the way to the Southern tip of this breathtaking continent, with everything in between. The journey begins in Cairo, and after visiting 17 of Africa’s most fascinating and memorable spots, it ends in Cape Town. Even the aircraft is an experience in itself – a beautiful new, luxuriously-fitted, private Cessna Caravan. Soar across Africa’s most stunning landscapes, viewing wildlife, enchanting villages and vast expanses of savannah, lakes, rivers, forest, mountain and desert. As one of nine high flying explorers, prepare to encounter Africa on the wing from Cairo to Cape Town over 30 days.” Dates: 21st May – 18th June 2012

A recent Birding field trip exploring bush areas in Northern Eastern Botswana adjacent to the Zimbabwe border turned out to be a very rewarding experience! In late December early January, I visited an area along the Inchwe River, which, incidently is dry for most of the year until the first rains arrive when it springs to life flooding the parched sandy riverbed.

As a 4×4 safari enthusiast, I have experience with a wide selection of 4×4′s over the years including the old series 1, 2, 3, Discovery 110 & Discovery 2 Land Rovers. In 1989, donating two Land Rover 110 to “Operation Stronghold”, “Ride For The Rhino Campaign”, as a result of cycling from Glasgow to Zimbabwe for “Save The Rhino” in 1987/88!
This year,2011, I was recently a guest of Land Rover at their 4×4 field day. These courses provide familiarisation of Land Rovers to their owners in order to obtain the best out of their 4×4, build confidence for novice drivers in handeling their 4×4′s correctly in rugged conditions, and, understanding their vehicles capability and strength.

About Rock Art
Ancient rock art depicting animals and San occur throughout Southern Africa and our country, Zimbabwe, has a considerable number. Thousands of rock paintings were discovered in caves and up kopjes, and from a youngster I would delight in exploring them. The colours used to paint on the rocks were generally obtained from minerals in natural deposits located near the sites of these paintings. The ‘reds and yellows were usually ‘from the oxides of iron, haematite and limonite. It is not known what was mixed with the colour to make it adhere so well, possibly gum from Acacia trees, latex from Euphorbias, blood, urine, animal fat, egg white or yolk and any combination of them. Age of rock art obtained for the cultures found in middens below the paintings using Isotopic Carbon 14 method, dates range from more than 60 000 years to 1000 years ago.’ (Source: A Guide to rock Art of Rhodesia by C.K.Cook).
