Place: South Luangwa game reserve, Zambia. We took a few days whilst in Africa to go to a game park. We stayed in a great lodge with fantastic lodges. Our bedroom opened out onto the huge expanse of a wide river. Wildlife was EVERYWHERE.
Diary extract:
We woke up to the sounds of the hippos calling to each other over the river. I really needed a shower as there was no water (for a change!) the last night. However… no electricity hence no pump hence no water. The accommodation manager had two flasks delivered though, one hot and one cold, which enabled me to freshen up. Jane woke and asked “what can you see?” and I replied “oh, just the usual, baboons, hippo, impala etc”.
The indian ladies who were fellow guests arrived back from their early morning drive at about 11.00 and we enjoyed a brunch. Around three we left for the afternoon drive, enjoying our G & T “sundowner” overseen by a couple of lazy looking crocodiles. The drive was not so eventful as the previous evening and it was a fair bit colder – fortunately we had taken an extra blanket. This evening we saw buffalo, warthogs, more giraffes.
