After a bumpy three hour drive we arrived in Mfuwe a dream come true, I can't believe we are here! Hippos are snorting in the river nearby while monkeys spy on us from the trees above. We have to lock our tent so the monkeys don't get in :) (they will actually unzip your tent!) and call someone by shining a flashlight as a signal to escort us from our tent at night because the hippos and elephants are everywhere. It is truly amazing that we are sleeping in the middle of this savannah of wildlife.
Sept 4. Luangwa National Reserve
Today we finally saw lions on safari both on the morning and evening drives. We found three male lions and one female napping in the shade with full bellies. We pulled up less than 20 feet from them...truly amazing. Then in the early evening we four females and one male snoozing after hunting their catch lying dead nearby - a huge buffalo. Happy kitties! I will post my amazing photos when I get back. Some other animals we saw: Hyena, Leopard, Croc, hippos, elephants, giraffe, warthog, mongoose, African Sea Eagle, huge Owl killing something...and the list goes on! Back to work tomorrow...
