The Animal Farm

Sunday was African Day, national (or should I say continental?) holiday. Daleen, an afrikaner girl we met through CouchSurfing, invited us along to go see Ballin Vaughan, an animal rescue farm 50km out of Harare where they keep rejected pets and prepare them to be released into the wild if possible. Thus, animal population vary greatly, always minimum four lions and two hyenas, two crocodiles, but also tamer and more approachable animals like goats, sheeps and donkeys. But they also have some really cute monkeys and mongooses (yep, lion king is here again). But it was so nice for once not to be focussing on what needs to be done for work or looking for stuff we need to settle in, just getting away from the city.

And it shows some of the potential Zimbabwe still has for tourists...
