Tafika Mwaleshi Park

A restless night for Lainey. The horrendous journey and the contrast between the manicured luxury of Waterberry Lodge and Tafika seen in the dark was quite unsettling

We had a big bed each under a huge mosquito net and our lodge was otherwise open to the air under a thatched roof. Lainey had a shower in the open air followed by a delicious breakfast and a look around and felt somewhat better about everything.

Here overlooking the river there are loads of Hippos everywhere, herd of Impala are on the far bank and many birds which I can’t identify. We’re told there was an Elephant in camp earlier so to be careful, It’s so peaceful.

Keeping a watchful eye on the river banks we realised there were Hippos coming right past us, so close to the bank, we then realised they were starting to mate and, I’m afraid, watched, note the Ox Pecker on his back! It was truly incredible, so glad we decided to relax this morning

We’re off on the Sundowner at 16:00…Weiterlesen
