Africa University Bus picked us up at the Harare Airport.
Baby Baboon at Game Park - Baboons, however, roam freely all across the countryside and many of them pass by Bill and Maria's house every day!
Boarding South African Air to Harare from Johannesburg.
I watched this very hungry cheetah eyeing the baboons on the other side of his fence ... he jumped up on the chain link fence at one point as though heading out to dinner....
Children on a school bus waiting also to enter the game park. What a joyous bunch!
These grass huts could be found all around the countryside. I passed this one near the border to Mozambique.
Departures from Johannesburg.
Keep all arms and hands inside the vehicle! This lioness was the most dangerous of the pack we were told.
Jessica Russell helped her dad keep close watch on our passports as we departed Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport.
Feeding time for the hyenas. Ugh.
Maria was busy in the kitchen when we arrived late on August 3rd.
Jerry Russell leads us thru the airports...all our tickets in hand.
He didn't even seem to care if we were there...
The crates and luggage were tightly packed into the back of the bus....
Bill Humbane talks with the driver and the Dean of Students for Africa University. The Dean joined us on the ride to Mutare.
Tightly packed in and ready for the bumpy ride to Mutare.
Karen Todd assists Nancy Lantz in organizing the medical supplies, soaps and lotions she brought for Ishe Anesu.
We pulled alongside this overcrowded bus as people jumped on in the middle of an intersection.
Riding to Mutare...Watch out Pam...those suitcases are about to fall on your head!
The streets of Harare...but a more common sight was people walking along the highways by the hundreds. It's a luxury to have a vehicle in Zimbabwe.
