These are photos from a road trip I took in with Steven Brownstone in March 2018. The country had just deposed Robert Mugabe, and there was a lot of hope for change in the air. Bond notes still traded at 1.2:1 to the USD. We drove from Lusaka to the Nyanga Mountains via Chirundu and Harare. We had 5 days off because Thursday and Monday were holidays, and Zambian President Edgar Lungu declared Friday an impromptu holiday to give everyone the epic long weekend.
