Rhodes Matopos National Park (Zimbabwe), aerial view of World's View hilltop, burial place of John Cecil Rhodes

1937

December 1, 1937. 'World View,' Matopos Hills: The burial ground here is hardly discernible amongst the hundreds of rocky outcroppings and we spent fifteen minutes searching for it from the air, although we had driven out only the day before and thought we could follow the road directly there. The Matopos Hills occupy an area of about 50 by 60 miles. It was here that Lord Baden-Powell gained the scouting experience which gave birth to the world-wide Boy Scout organization. 5000 feet. 06:51. Grayscale
