Thanks Dave
You are quite correct, it is amazing how powerfull especially water can be!
Please can you put a trip report together of your Zim trip, as I want to go there?
Cheers
Peter

I will most certainly do so - got back on Saturday, wishing I was still having a cold lager on the Zambezi !!

I think it is a black backed jackal.

Jules my consumption was about 4.5km/l, which is about average for my car. My car was fairly heavily loaded, with a fair amount of stuff on the roof rack as well, and there are real mountains in that country.
I would recommend budgeting for 0.5km/l more than your normal town average.
Kevin thanks, Kobus (Herrie) is correct, it is a black-backed jackal. This is our most common (or at least most commonly spotted) small predator/scavenger. It is very dog-like, and in size it is about half-way between a Jack Russel and a Bull Terrier.
