    Visited this amazing area in 2004 on a Safari for my 50th birthday. I have many wonderful memories and lots of photos of the trip xx

    What an absolute star you are. I've always wondered what the Matobo Hills were like, I was born in '49 in a Rondavel in the grounds of the Lady Rodwell hospital. Bulawayo. My dad at the time was working on a large dam in the area, my mother was pregnant at the time dad decided to show her the Matobo hills, which he too loved, now through you i am able to see it too and it's wonderful. Thank you so very much and a very Happy and healthy Christmas to you, from Scotland. xx

    Absolutely beautiful landscape.I had a little chuckle at the sudden appearance of the craft market ,but they are trying to get their slice of the pie, if it's there at all.

    • @AfricanPlantHunter
      @AfricanPlantHunter  Před rokem

      It's a very small pie, unfortunately. But yes, a stunning landscape!

    Him what is the name of the shrub that grows in the granite rock cracks, and when you pull it out and take it back home and place it in a glass of water, it comes to life. It has an amazing smell.

    • @AfricanPlantHunter
      @AfricanPlantHunter  Před 2 lety +1

      That's the Resurrection Bush - Myrothamnus flabellifolius. I've done several videos on it. I also make a really tasty craft beer from it. You should come and taste it one day!
