Rhodesia (1964)
Kariba in Rhodesia, Africa. Several shots of the huge dam at Kariba; the manmade lake that floods the bushland and forest; people fish from a boat, surrounded by treetops sticking out of the water. Two men look through binoculars on a patrol boat at a game reserve. Buffalo and antelope drink at the lakeside; zebras and monkeys are seen. At Livingstone near the Victoria Falls we see a specially built native village a tourist attraction to show visitors what was there before the new dam flooded the tribesmen s land. The villagers are seen carving wooden ornaments, drying clothes, forging buffalo spears, storing grain, making drums. Native dances and rituals are seen, involving strange costumes (one looks like a giant wood louse). At the Wankie National Park we see various wildlife shots: a herd of bison are herded off into new territory by two wardens in a Land Rover; elephants drink at a manmade water hole; some tourists in an opentop camper van stand to look
