Day 2: Zimbabwe

   I woke up at 8:00 and went to breakfast in the hotels dining room. The breakfast was delicious! This was my day:

   10:00 Hwange National Park
   14:00 Victoria Falls
   18:00 Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe
   21:00 Hotel

   The Hwange National Park was full of dangerous animals. There were elephants, buffaloes, lions, hyenas, cheetahs, jackles, monkeys, giraffes, antelopes, zebras and other smaller animals. We were driven around the park in a Jeep. The animals actually got really close to the car! It was very interesting!

 I learned that Zimbabwe is one of the last rhino ranges. There are white and black rhinos there, but there aren´t alot of them. I also learned that the largest lizard in Zimbabwe is the leguaan. It is a creature that can reach over 2m. It spends most of it´s time laying around watering holes.

                

   After my visit at the Hwange National Park, I visited Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls was the coolest place ever! It was so beutiful! The air there was refreshing because it was quite humid, but it was humid in the good way. Victoria Falls is known around the world for it´s beauty. When I was there I learned that the geographical features of Zimbabwe are mostly rivers, but there are others too. Here are some that they told us about; Victoria Falls, Zambezi, Limpopo River, Balancing Rocks and Mount Nyangani.

   After the beutiful Victoria Falls I visited the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe. It was very interesting there. It was quite a big place, and I covered what I could. I learned that Zimbabwe was colonised by Cecil John Rhodes in the late 1800s. He named the land Rhodesia after himself. Zimbabwe became an independent country on the 18th of April 1980. I also learned lots about ancient animals there. After the long day of sight seeing I was ready to go back to the hotel and sleep.
