Our packed up Flame Lily Profile campsite, on the outskirts of Harare. We got here late last night, put up our tents, ate dinner and slept. But this is what the place looked like. Other than bathroom facilities, this place had very little to offer. (Oct. 28, 2024)

Started the morning at our Flame Lily Profile campsite, on the outskirts of Harare, by taking down my tent with help from Shi (left) and Daniela (right). Shi is an Intrepid tour leader, shadowing on this route from Kenya to Cape Town. And, Daniela, like me, is a member of our tour group. She is incredibly kind and always helpful. Thank you both for your help. (Oct. 28, 2024)
