Jozef Behr Claims That Chiremba Balancing Rock of Zimbabwe Has A Jaw dropping View

Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock. 

I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel. 

Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequence of the landscape's volcanic origins and millennia of erosion. The Standing Strata were formed when hard materials such as granite and iron ore were driven upward through weaker rocks. Over time, the weaker rocks were worn away, exposing these strong rock formations.

While there are many of similar balanced rock formations around Zimbabwe, the Chiremba rocks have earned notoriety after appearing on various Zimbabwean banknotes, notably the Zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar note. "Chiremba" is a Shona word that meaning "doctor" or "physician" in English. This fascinates me since the Chiremba stones appear on currency denominations that represent a very damaged economy. 

I'm delighted I got to see this site, and I'm grateful to Jozef Behr for including it on his list of places to visit and inspiring people like me to go there and feast our eyes on the beauty of this great natural marvel.

Jozef Behr is amazed with Zimbabwe Textile and handicraft Industries

For a very long time, Zimbabwean art and crafts have been a significant and complex component of the nation's cultural legacy. Many individuals have job options because of the country's arts and crafts industry, particularly in rural regions. A fabric manufact u rer, Jozef Be h r , says “t he strong sense of originality and distinct style that Zimbabweans have developed and incorporated into both secular and sacred things has increased demand for Zimbabwean art throughout the globe ” .     As per Jozef Behr’s experience “ arts and crafts are a great method to protect the cultural history of the past ” . The nation, which was formerly inhabited by bushmen, has around 15000 locations where you may see old cave paintings, including cliff faces and cave walls. To exhibit Zimbabwe's historic art and craft, several objects from that era have been conserved in museums around the nation, including bags, blankets, headdresses, fertility symbols, and many more.   Jista Print:    T

The Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage: An Initiative to Give a Home to Wild Animals

We often see or hear news that woods are being cut off, somewhere fire outbreaks in the forest, and because of that many wild animals are being made homeless. This disastrous news reached every ear but not every heart, but Mr. Vivian Wilson, ex-game ranger, and his wife paddy initiated a step to build a shelter home for the orphaned, abandoned and sick wild animals. This initiation led them to build the Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage for wild animals. I, Jozef Behr, took a tour of this orphanage and was amazed to see the hard work of all the volunteers here.     This wildlife orphanage is in southern Africa located in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. When you visit this place, you will see hundreds of species combining birds, mammals, and of course carnivores. A tourist goes through the mammal enclosures to the left of the entryway. The Barry Wilson Aviary, dedicated to the late son of Chipangali founders, is located to the right. Flamingos, peacocks, eagles, owls, and other sorts of birds live in t

Lumene Falls: Beautiful Sight to your Eyes & Rhythm to your Ears

 Lumene Falls is a little-known but magnificent tourist destination nestled away in the Umzingwane area, and tourists will be treated to a beautiful view as the sun is engulfed by two adjoining mountains as it gradually recedes towards the horizon, casting a golden light. Zimbabwe is undeniably endowed with numerous natural and man-made riches, which continue to draw throngs of both domestic and foreign tourists.The enormous Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, the Eastern highlands, and glorious Zimbabwe are just a few of the tourist attractions that spring to mind. Most people think of Victorian Falls or Nyachowa Falls in Vumba, Manicaland, when they think of waterfalls as a tourist destination. Lumene Falls, on the other hand, is a lesser-known attraction. A lovely cascading waterfall that flows from an underground spring is a tourist attraction in Bezha hamlet, Umzingwane District.  Mountain bikers, students on educational trips, travelers, and cultural tourists are among the visit
