    Mwamba - Last Full Day

    29 Mayıs, Zambiya ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Lainey was up to go for a walk with Phil and Goodson this morning whilst I had a lay-in and joined her at the end of their walk

    We went East today to a Water Buck Gambo, a waterhole, when we arrived Phil was quite concerned at the levels, also the fact Great White Pelicans were already here when usually it’s around September time before they arrive. We had also expected to find Cape Buffalo but they weren’t about, although all the signs were there

    We then began to check the area along the river for signs of life and saw a Greater Kudu who was heading to drink become very wary at our approach deciding to head off instead, moving along we came to an opening which is beneficial to browsers and grazers seeing Zebra, Puku and Baboons all sharing the same area, also, in the tree line was a Giraffe browsing, as opposed to grazing, they really are magnificent creatures. At this point I was about to discard a leaf when I took a closer look and it was a Mantis which had de coded to land Phil very kindly stopped and we left it in a field of grasses

    Back at the riverbed, a subsidiary to the Luangwa, we saw lazy Hippos and a whole gaggle of Geese arguing over territory and their mates watched on by an African Spoonbill, African Sacred Ibis and, of course, the Hippos after which we moved further along for morning tea on the river bank itself

    Here we had a chuckle seeing the Hippos noisily rearranging themselves and at a youngster determined to rest on her mums back and at a Crocodile sliding along, he must’ve been all of four metres…huge!

    Heading back we interrupted, albeit briefly, Puku enjoying a ‘coupling’ although I rather think she was still on the hors d'oeuvre…    Okumaya devam et

    Our last Sundowner in Zambia

    Mwamba - Last Sundowner

    29 Mayıs, Zambiya ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    A fabulous Last Day…

    Off, really for a wander but thought about checking out the last sighting of the Lions/Lionesses. Everyone’s been wondering where their Cubs are but to no avail, until tonight…sighting a clump of weathered trees we saw the two Lions so we know the Lionesses must be nearby but what was totally unexpected was they had their Cubs with them. It was truly incredible to see this amazing picture and knowing we were amongst the first to see it

    The Cubs are about twelve weeks old and beautiful, they were suckling as we watched. Each of the Lionesses has two Cubs but they were clambering between each of the Lionesses, see video, hard to believe what they will be capable of in the future…. More vehicles turned up so we decided to leave to prevent them being harassed but we checked out the Lions on the way

    From there we sought the Wild Dogs and, heading West, off we went, driving along something ran across the road which, amazingly, turned out to be a young Crocodile, about a year old, that was trying to get to the river. So we started agin after the Digs which we caught up with quite easily as they were up on the radio but, sadly, when we arrived there were already four vehicles there so we prepared to leave. Just as we were turning Goodson called to Phil and there, not six foot in front of us was a Wild Dogs and, it was truly a ‘Wow’ moment so paused to record that and take a long range photo of what we could see of the pack. After this we headed to our Sundowner…

    Imagine our surprise when we realised the owners, Lester and Val, had driven out to arrange a Bush Sundowner, it was really lovely and totally unexpected. They really are a lovely couple who are just ‘themselves’ and a joy to spend time with. So, all in all, a fabulous ‘Last Sundowner’

    After which we returned to the Lodge and had dinner with our hosts, Lester and Val and Phil, a good night…a very good night!    Okumaya devam et

    Mwamba - Breakfast and…

    30 Mayıs, Zambiya ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    Woke to some strange noises outside but this is becoming almost normal now, we did see someone out and about so knew something was happening

    Drums were delayed and at breakfast we found out the reason…there’d been an Elephant in the camp and immediately outside our cabin, there were some concerns as you can see from the video (courtesy of: Lester Shenton). It should be noted that Hyenas, Leopards and Lions, amongst others, are regular visitors to Mwamba, the reason visitors don’t go out unescorted after dark…the ‘very’ good reason visitors don’t go unescorted at night!

    Lainey, Phil, Goodson and myself start our trek heading out to see the Cubs from last night but, on the way, we noticed a Hyena who was very fixed on an area in the bush, we did a quick check but he was on his own, that done we moved to the area he was interested in and entered slowly working our way between the trees and bushes, it is great the places they manage to get these vehicles in, not for the faint hearted

    Soon we stopped and looking up in the tree there was a Leopard with her kill, an Impala, probably from yesterday. Phil explained the Hyenas would gather to scavenge anything that was dropped but otherwise would get nothing.

    I think I’ve said before how moving it is to see these creatures so close and knowing how terrifying it would be if they so decided, it truly is a privilege

    Sadly, this is our last morning and there’s packing to be undertaken before we set off for the airport at 12:30, so we head back    Okumaya devam et

    Mfuwe International Airport

    30 Mayıs, Zambiya ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Travelling to the airport we turned a corner and ended up facing a ‘Journey of Giraffes’, strangely when they stop they became a ‘Tower of Giraffes’ eventually they moved aside and we continued on. It was quite a journey because with the exception we saw, albeit very briefly, almost everything apart from Lion! A fabulous farewell from an amazing country

    Arrived MIA at 16:40 after calling in at some shops local to the airport and a place called Mulberry Mongoose, this is a shop where the locals make jewellery from animal traps and from which the locals benefit financially also a percentage made to the locality generally

    This has to be the smallest International Airport in the world!

    We depart here at 18:20 to arrive Lusaka at 19:30

    Dubai

    31 Mayıs, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    …our last leg, though not counting the five hour journey from Heathrow to Canadel

    We depart here at 09:40 to arrive Heathrow at 14:25, It’ll have been a long journey and reaching home (Canadel) will have been travelling for over 24 hours, and no alcohol ‘cause I’ll be driving and, sigh, there’s 18 year old scotch for free…sob!

    Canadel - Home

    31 Mayıs, Galler ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

    We arrived into UK to lovely weather which turned into torrential rain 38 miles from home but it ceased and the last 25 miles were good

    Got home at 19:51, which wasn’t too bad considering the SatNav says it’s a 4:30 hour (220 mile) drive and the adaptive cruise control, anti-lock brake system, tyre pressure system and anti-skid all decided to become inactive 80 miles out of Heathrow

    Sequence…kick dog, toilet, get very large drink…that’s all folks

    If anyone wants any of the pictures, or to see our other trips just let me, or Lainey, know 👍

    See you all soon xx    Okumaya devam et
