We went to the Mfuwe Lodge in Mfuwe, Zambia. We flew over from Lilongwe, Malawi in an 8-seater ‘air taxi’ with a family from Spain, also headed to the Lodge. The plane ride was cool, although a little turbulence when flying through the clouds occurred, much to Ashley’s dismay. She lived and we made it safely to the Mfuwe airport, uh I mean strip of pavement in the jungle.
Our Safari guide Richard, a local Mfuwe resident, picked us up and transported us to the Lodge. The accommodations were amazing – we stayed in the ‘Lion’ chalet on the lagoon. From our deck, just to give you an idea, we had to step back to let the baboons cross over - here is a shot of one of the monkeys sipping from the sprinkler right outside our door... there were tons of these guys everywhere... some small like this guy and some larger:

We saw crocodiles and hippos:

Some of the coolest terrain and sights we’ve ever seen. We saw, in addition to the above, hyenas, lions (yes, we were that close):
Will try and post a few more images later - depends on access... but we are off to Cape Town in about 30 minutes.
Love, Ash and Park
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteI just scanned the photos before I read the blog and I said to myself (because Marty's lounged out in the reading room, therefore, I am talking to myself...) Wow! That looks like Park!
So happy to hear you are finally over there together and enjoying the trip.
Come visit us at The Pharm when you are back and rested. Would love to hear your adventure stories.
Safe and Happy Travels. :-)
Big Hugs,
Jamie
