Twist as it’s revealed a week passed before Aussie tourist was declared missing in Zimbabwe after he disappeared near one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls

The 67-year-old Australian tourist who disappeared near the spectacular Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe County, southern Africa, had already been missing for more than a week before it was announced.

The unnamed man has not been seen since Saturday, February 17, but his disappearance was not announced until Monday.

He had been staying alone in a luxury lodge about three kilometers from Victoria Falls National Park.

The last morning he was seen, the man informed hotel management that he was heading to the park.

However, the man was not recorded entering the park, which is normally a prerequisite and has not been seen on CCTV footage.

“We have replayed the CCTV footage, physical searches at the entrance to the falls have no record of its entry and our search team has been checking the rainforest,” said Tinashe Farawo, National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. Zimbabwe.

“No sign of him.”

“We are looking for other clues because it appears he never entered the rainforest.”

Expert trackers, drones, police, rangers and sniffer dogs have been deployed for the search.

Investigations are ongoing.
