CAMPING LUANGWA

I have such an amazing campsite that I decided to stay an extra day. Camping right on the riverbank which is like a huge horseshoe of the river, looking into Luangwa Park. The river is full of hippos and crocodiles which spend the whole day laying on the sandy banks across from me. Last night the hippo was by the ablution block eating the grass and then had three right up by our riverbank grazing. It's hard to sleep at night with the hippo's trumpetting all night but what a pleasure. This morning an elephant came up and was eating in the bush thirty feet from my tent and managed to get some great shots. Tonight is full moon and am going on a game drive and hopefully see some leopard , as the park is known for the highest leopard concentration in Africa so hoping we are at the right place at the right time. Last night I was preparing my supper , two carrots and an advo when my neighbour called me over and in a split second the bloody verve monkey grabbed my advo and took off, so was only a two carrot very healthy meal. Ended up drinking red wine with my German buddies till midnight and trying to find a salution for Africa , which I really do not know if there is one. Firstly get the Chinese out of here , they are in every country greasing the palms of the corrupt officials.
