Day 1 - Paradise Found on Remote Tropical Island in Africa

He said it was like living in paradise.
Paradise in Zimbabwe? uh - you gotta be kidding.

Well here's the lowdown on paradise according to a fella who lives on the Island of Spurwing.
Get out the map/atlas or goto wikipedia and look up Kariba and there in the eastern basin you will find paradise.

This tropical island is surrounded by huge expanses of calm blue waters a.k.a. lake kariba.

To complete the pic of paradise - throw in blue skies - waters teeming with fish - awesome scenery and I can see why for some Spurwing is indeed paradise.

But there's more he said.
Let's go and find some wildlife. Whoa there boy - let's keep this clean.
Oh you mean wildlife as in elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, zebra, giraffe lean and mean lions.

Well a game drive led by experienced highly knowledgeable man of the wild, found us the wildlife which just had to be shot (with the camera of course).

A bar is meant for socialising and the one at Spurwing is in the shape of a "V' - specially designed so that you can keep an eye out and see what everyone is drinking and also an ear out for what everyone is talking about.
