The campsite for the evening

Thank you for all the SMS we’ve received. It is great to hear from you!

Today we travelled 700km from South Luangwa National Park to the Lower Zambezi National Park. We left at 06:00 and arrived at about 17:30. We had a brief stop next to the road for another live RSG Broadcast to interview Elmarie Groenewald, wife of Gerhard Groenewald and also with Frank Carlisle from Bhejane 4x4 Adventures who are in charge of the food for the Outreach.

We stopped about 40km short of our planned destination, as it was getting dark. We are camping close to the Zambezi River and will move on to our planned campsite tomorrow. We already had leopard visiting our camp!! So who knows which animals will come see what we’re up to?
