Zimbabwe’s Timeless Beauty: The 2023 Collection
When solace and silence are needed. When wild and beautiful places soothe. When a new adventure is just the medicine.
After an intense period of loss and grief Cathy Buckle sought solace in the wild and beautiful places she loves. Sitting on a rock on the edge of a woodland she looked out at a valley of golden grass, the warm sun on her back, a breeze on her face, an eagle circling overhead, she knew the pain was healing.
With her girlfriends by her side she found that laughter was the tonic she needed and she went adventuring again, discovering more of Zimbabwe’s wild and beautiful places.

Wild and Beautiful Zimbabwe
Imire. The Life and Times of Norman Travers
A lifetime of remarkable adventures in Zimbabwe.
A three legged leopard, a hippo and a lion in the garden.
A crocodile in the swimming pool.
Norman was a visionary conservationist who also hunted, fished and farmed. He lived a life full of adventure and built Imire into a significant wildlife park. Norman and Gilly’s family life included lions, elephants, leopards, hippo and ‘…a stream of naughty, smelly little animals…’
Norman is a man of those times; often a glass of whisky, always a pipe and a twinkle in his eye as he remembers these wonderful stories.
A warm hearted tribute to a life of adventures and excitement in Zimbabwe.
Rundi: Walking with Elephants
Their mothers have been killed.
They have been in a noisy truck for hours.
They are not even weaned and they are very scared.
Slowly, gently and patiently Cathy and Simon coax the baby elephants to risk a taste of milky porridge. The male is more confident, the little female is much more wary. They have wounds which must be treated if they are to survive.
Will these little orphaned elephants, now known as Rundi and Muku, ever learn to trust humans? Will they survive in this new place and without their herd?
A book filled with love, laughter, and adventures of two baby elephants in their first years. This beautiful story is interspersed with black and white photographs. Walk with Cathy and these two baby elephants as they start out in life.
