Descrição do livro

Zimbabwe — Volume I: The Zambezi Wilderness

There are places we visit.

And there are places that quietly change the way we see the wild.

In The Zambezi Wilderness, Saad & Sangeeta Jung journey through three of Zimbabwe’s most extraordinary landscapes: Mana Pools, Victoria Falls, Zambezi National Park, and Lake Kariba with Matusadona.

At Mana Pools, they leave the vehicle behind and enter a wilderness where man still walks among elephants, buffalo and lions. Beneath ancient winterthorns, tracks become stories, the wind becomes a guide, and the Zambezi determines the rhythm of life.

At Victoria Falls, the river finds its voice. From the thunder of Mosi-oa-Tunya - The Smoke That Thunders to elephants wandering beside the little town and the quiet wilderness of Zambezi National Park, they discover a place where wildlife, history and human life exist astonishingly close together.

Then comes Lake Kariba.

Drowned forests rise from the water. Fish eagles call from dead trees. Tiger fish hunt beneath the boat. Elephants swim where their ancestors may once have walked, while the mountains of Matusadona rise beyond the shore.

But Kariba carries another story - the building of the dam, the displacement of people, the remarkable wildlife rescue of Operation Noah, and the enduring question of what responsibility means when human beings transform a landscape.

This is not a book about racing from sighting to sighting!

It is about learning to wait.

To read a track.

To understand why the buffalo are moving.

To listen when the baboons alarm.

To look at the tree behind the elephant and the water behind the wilderness.

Written in the distinctive first-person voice of Safari with Soul, and illustrated with Saad Jung’s original sketches created as Dingiswayu, this is part natural-history journal, part safari memoir, and above all, an invitation to experience Zimbabwe slowly.

Because the finest safari is not simply about seeing wildlife.

It is about understanding the world that makes wildlife possible.
