    Michi the Baptist farmer

    March 3, 2020 in Zambia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    I wake up at 0630 at the Kalwa farm near Serenje to be greeted by two local pastors. They officialy allow camping here on the grass lawn in front of an old house for the price of an apple. In the ancient times of Mr. Livingstone this place was established by a missioner and is taken care of by the Baptist church now. The previous farm leader, a North American, passed away a few years ago and since then the premises are becoming "wild". The church is apparently missing a willing hand for the farm management and now these two friendly souls are asking if I would be interested in running this place or if I knew anybody who could have an interest. Exciting!

    They had running water before and electricity. There are dams for irrigation and for hydro-power, but the generators broke down. In near distance you see the Samba Hills rising and there are singing birds all over the place. It has a historic touch and is very calm and you have both Luangwa national parks close by. I see some potential :-D
