Common sense versus Carnivores

Please do yourself a huge favour and check out road conditions
before attempting to drive long distances in any African country.

When we did finally make it to Chipata - what lay ahead
was another 3 gruelling hours of driving.
Was it the geriatric in us that said - enuff's enuff.
Or was it plain common sense - whoever spoke to us said
turn around.
So we did.

Lions, leopards, wild dog, jackal, caracal and serval are just
some of the park's carnivores.
Large elephant herds as well as buffalo, hippo, zebra, giraffe,
impala, puku, eland and duiker are also residents at
South Luangwa.

So we will come again another time to South Luangwa but
next time we take the plane - a much better idea.

Livingstone - named after the Doctor himself - sits on the
Zambian side of the Victoria Falls.

Any visitor to the Falls wants to be as close to the Falls
as is possible - if not a birds eye view then pretty close.
Thus there are hotels and lodges close to the Falls.

Miles upstream there are also safari lodges overlooking the
Zambezi as she tumbles along on her way to the chasm.

Livingstone is growing as a favoured tourist destination.
This at the expense of Victoria Falls but that's another story.

Good quality bed and breakfast accommodation can also be found
in the town centre.

We opted for the Zambezi Waterfront.
