Friends of Zimbabwe – Travel

It is surely good to know that someone is managing to change the world’s point of view about Africa. Different people have different thoughts but the one who thinks positive, faces good. Africa is more like an infamous continent but does have good Africans who are not just setting an example for good locals but also for the patriots by journeying the Africa just to gather great news and to make great changes.

Africans are working hard by touring the whole continent, which will surely help them change people’s sense of the continent. It is an intriguing move and it will bring reforms through their effort.

Africa is perceived as a land harried by civil war, natural disaster and cluttered with tainted authorities. In fact, none of that is visible to the tourists and they are having a contrary experience to what they heard about it. As the land is full of popular destinations like Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, one will never find it a land of darkness.

The world only sees the negative side of the continent through media, the good stories are barely considered. There is a lot that people as Africans can do to make the land better and it is only by being ambitious. People do appreciate the tourist’s goal and help them out in any way they can.

The Obscured Pearls

If you travel to places like Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Ghana, Gambia, Mali, Senegal, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, and Guinea, you will find that Africa is full of friendly people, lovely sights, kindness and cordial reception. You will surely love the incredible Cascades de Karfiguela waterfalls and astonishing rock shaping that aged 1.8m years in the Domes de Fabedougo. Africa is full of attractions when it comes to amazing landscapes and the wild animals, stunning sceneries, which will compel tourists to visit different countries over and over again by getting cheap flights to Africa.

Breman Bedum, a slumberous village located in Ghana has been visited by the tourists as well. Proclaimed by them, the place is full of astounding things like the largest oil revolution being held there that provides the essential oils, which means a great income and reformation. As Africa is the second most-populous continent with a low economy, this oil revolution would do a lot better.

The tourists also discovered a positive thing about Guinea-Bissau, a republic famous for violent agitation. They said that the place still kept its charm by the loving people that are living in it, the people who are contriving ahead, and are still moving on. There is a hope and hope springs eternal. Added by them, they do think it was one of the most intriguing countries.

African tourists said that the whole documentation is just not for the foreigners but also for the African youth and the forth coming generations so that they are encouraged to think in a good way, and to love their country even more. It is a great idea and Africa will surely get the bright light.

The draw to this wonderful park is the diversity of flora and fauna and the remote almost inaccessible forests. There are no roads in the park, you have to be prepared to do lots of hard hiking, and indeed this is a hiker’s paradise.

It is remarkable that these forests have remained untouched before they received National Park status. This is due largely to traditional taboos and beliefs that kept the local people from destroying and clearing these forests. There are important natural caves in the park – which are of a significant cultural importance. There are many plant species found nowhere else in the world including over 160 medical plant varieties.

The Udzungwa hosts animals that are found in most Tanzanian parks including elephants, buffaloes, lion and leopard; also including the African wild dog, which is only found in Southern Tanzania. However, most of these are not present in large numbers and visitors will have a hard time spotting these game animals in this Park. A park ranger and/or guide must accompany all hikers.

There are ten species of primates found only in this park, these include the sanje mangabey, the red colobus monkeys and the nocturnal Matundu Galago, discovered in 1996.

Udzungwa has the richest forest bird habitat in all of Tanzania. Several species peculiar to this park have recently been discovered – including a new species of francolin and the Rufus-winged sun bird. Many regard the Udzungwa forests to be among highest-ranking destinations for bird watching in Africa.

The Park was created primarily for the plant life and the rainforests are a big attraction in this park. The park has stunning scenery especially in the rainforest and wooded grassland that include many rivers and waterfalls. The Sanje waterfalls has three tiers to its spectacular drop starting at a height of 200m, to 160m and then to 130m before finally crashing down to the bottom.

The lowland rainforest are 250 meters above sea level and reach up to moist cloud forest at around 2000 meters above sea level. With Mount Mwaniahana rising to 2700 meters above the forests. This mature [Parinari Excelsa] rainforest is well the adventure of getting there. The hiking in the park is quite hard and a low pace is recommended.

The Lumemo Trail is sugested for hiking in this park and a description can be found in my article The Lumemo Trail: A Tanzanian Wilderness Experience for the Practiced Hiker.
