Day 3: Zimbabwe

   I woke up at 8:00 and went to eat breakfast. I was going to leave for Ghana after going to visit the Traditional Craft Village near Victoria Falls.

   11:00 Traditional Craft Village
   15:25 Bye-bye Zimbabwe

   When I arrived at the Traditional Craft Village I saw an old village. There were some tribal tents and traditional tribal outfits. It was a interesting place. You could listen to stories and see what life is like in African tribes. It was a tour, and was included in the Victoria Falls tour, but I skipped the Victoria Falls part. I learned lots of things when I was there! I learned lots of basic information about Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe´s main languages are English, Shona and Northern Ndebele. Zimbabwe´s life expectancy is about 51 years, which is actually really short. Female population is larger than mens. The population of Zimbabwe is about 14,244,744. Zimbabwe´s government is republic presidential system, and their president is Robert Mugabe.





  
   I also learned about the vegetation and land use in Zimbabwe. Savannah covers most of Zimbabwe´s land. There are many national parks in Zimbabwe. There are some patches of sub-tropical forests in Eastern Zimbabwe. Land in Zimbabwe is used for mixed farming, grazing and stock rearing, and rough grazing. Crops that are grown in Zimbabwe is tabacco. Minerals found in Zimbabwe are iron ore, gold and copper. Energy found in Zimbabwe is hydro and coal.

   My trip in Zimbabwe was wonderful! I think the highlight of the trip was definately Victoria Falls. Out of many places to visit in Zimbabwe, I advise to visit the following; Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park,  Balancing Rocks, Harare, Bulawayo and the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe.

   I will still give some pictures and maps of Zimbabwe.
