As Archie, the notorious serial killer or Kariba. His name is pronounced almost affectionately by the few hotel staff who are there. Archie is no longer alive, they say. Archie, a four and a half feet tall monster, the terror of the fishermen unloading their nets full of fish daily in their small canoes. Archie followed the fishermen and they suddenly pulled their paddle in the water.
Lake Kariba may be an artificial lake, created by a dam, it is also pure wilderness. Evening floats the grunt of hippos on the glassy water. It is an unmistakable sound. Even if you've never heard it, you know immediately that the hum of a hippopotamus comes. The dark sound is moody and menacing.

The beauty of the lake is unchanged. The cliché that the skies in Africa breathtakingly beautiful, seems to be. Above Lake Kariba arise It is a shame that the beauty of the lake is now considered. By so few people Few car the trip to Zimbabwe. Out of fear or ignorance.
You can see that the dilapidated hotels, the rusty boats. But you do not see it in the nature or the people you received. They are proud of their country and are glad you're here. And logically they desire wistfully back to the time that Lake Kariba a cosmopolitan clientele attracted.
