Zambia Safaris
It’s been three weeks since I was last in South Luangwa but it’s unbelievable how much I miss the scenery, wildlife and all the little things that are difficult to describe. As Vic Guhrs said once ‘all mystery of Africa seems condensed here, like the calm at the eye of hurricane.’
“Over the last 2 weeks there has been a definite increase in the temperature, the nights are no longer cold and the duvet, blanket and hot water bottle combination has most definitely been thrown by the way side. Midday temperatures are rising into the mid 30′s and all the animals are most definitely noticing the difference. Lunchtime siestas are being enjoyed by all and the elephants are all huddled up under the dense shade of the trees keeping cool. The river has dropped dramatically and I am sure that it will not be long before we will be driving across – an annual highlight and at the same time an annual challenge for all the guides as the male ego is pitched against the slight possibility of getting stuck and having to call for some help, those avid readers amongst you will probably remember Bertram’s fantastic effort last year – hopefully not to be repeated this year!!!!
