Been to Zim a couple times - trifle edgy there now with all the landowner "troubles".

Absolutely THE biggest selling carvings there are tall giraffes. Around 3 - 4' high. Very clever - very thin.

Airline FA's HATE them, as the darn things NEVER fit into overheads, and every plane leaving has about 50 of the beasts in the cabin!

Great place to visit though is Victoria Falls. I spent a New Year's Day basking in the Zambezi looking at Zimbabwe from acorss the bank in Zambia!
