The web and Usenet were very helpful in organizing the trip
(independent travel, not part of a tour group). In the spirit of
giving something back, I have posted photos and a few words on
logistics and arrangements at:

http://pergler.netfirms.com/africa

I'm getting a 404 on that URL.

There are some good pictures, although a few of them have incorrect titles.
I was interested because it has been quite a few years since I went to
Zimbabwe and I would like to go back some time, but am uncertain about
travel and safety conditions.

Sorry about the URL. It should have been
http://pergler.netfirms.com/africa.html
I've gone back and kluged it so even using the old URL should work via
a redirect.

Any title corrections appreciated (email, let's not clutter up
newsgroup) to the extent people feel it is worth it. I made notes, but
I rather expected to get around to organizing my photos sooner than 2
months later...

Zimbabwe safety - I put a short discussion on the logistics page
(http://pergler.netfirms.com/Africalogistics.htm - I think that's
right this time ) The brief answer is that where we went (Kariba and
area) and when we went, there was no occasion at which we felt unsafe
or threatened. There were very few tourists, which actually made for
an excellent experience - basically an experienced, quality tourist
infrastructure thirsting for visitors. The people are suffering,
however, as a consequence of the systemic economic collapse.

Cheers, Martin
