Mwamba - Penultimate

Very strange night as we definitely heard something outside our cabin, at breakfast we learnt we’d had Lions in the area so we are heading straight to where they are thought to be

We found a Lion 25 minutes later in the road, it was on its own but it is actually one of the two Lions with the Lioness we saw at the Giraffe kill. It moved off and we attempted to follow, as it seemed sure it was looking for the others, but we lost it. Deciding to move on we headed for the Luangwa but after some 10 minutes we heard the other Lion and Lioness had been located so we headed there, again it appears they are waiting for the other Lion. We waited some 10 minutes but realised we could wait hours and not see then reunited so, again, headed for the river

Quite a gathering on the way so many birds which were too quick to ‘snap’ and lots of animal but the Elephants and Giraffes are so elegant and relaxed, as indeed was the Chameleon which is only about 4 inches long

Nearly back and we saw an Elephant by the side of the road but he got somewhat irate and gave out a rumble as he headed for the vehicle, suffice to say we moved on…

Back at the Lodge we had an Elephant, Impala and Baboons all going by outside our cabin, the Baboons in particular made such a racket we really believed they were running from a predator but no, just a domestic!Read more
