Often bevor starting a journey africans sing for a good travel.

One of this songs is the Njiva Song (Ndinjiva), a song about the king's bird in Africa, the Dove. The Dove is considered as a good luck symbol in Zimbabwe. If you are travelling by car or omnibus on a long journey, for example, and a dove flies over you, this is a good sign of an assured safe journey.
