We never found an impala on that one day, but I enjoyed walking through the tick bushes, where I got caught up in the thorns every now and then. Whereas the zebra hunt was very quick and successful. We started first thing in the morning just when the sun was rising over the horizon showing off with the most lovely orange colored sky. We stalked a herd of zebras for a short time but they noticed us and ran away. So we drove to another spot, where we saw zebras just in front of the car. The shooting was so quick, I couldn\u2019t even take a picture. Afterwards, we had to load the zebra on the truck and we drove straight back to the butchery. The job was done by early morning so there was plenty of time left to cuddle with all the foals.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/8B36A91C-1E20-4582-95FC-C15C5B8B90B1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1873\" class=\"wp-image-1873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/8B36A91C-1E20-4582-95FC-C15C5B8B90B1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/8B36A91C-1E20-4582-95FC-C15C5B8B90B1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/8B36A91C-1E20-4582-95FC-C15C5B8B90B1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Perfect start into the new working day<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AD0D1348-3EBF-40F7-B5A2-86B922AEA43F-e1560687248851-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1871\" class=\"wp-image-1871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AD0D1348-3EBF-40F7-B5A2-86B922AEA43F-e1560687248851-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AD0D1348-3EBF-40F7-B5A2-86B922AEA43F-e1560687248851-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Trying to find impalas<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/E9269B11-1018-4BDB-8452-8F467106CBD7-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1874\" class=\"wp-image-1874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/E9269B11-1018-4BDB-8452-8F467106CBD7-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/E9269B11-1018-4BDB-8452-8F467106CBD7-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/E9269B11-1018-4BDB-8452-8F467106CBD7-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Following the zebra tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><b>I spent my first Friday night&nbsp;in town<\/b> and got to experience the Bulawayo bars, which was lots of fun.
