The longest travel day of my life, 3 flights, 18 hours of
fly time, 6 hours of waiting between flights, 2 sunrises, and we finally
arrived in Mfuwe, Zambia just as the sun was setting.
The ride from the airport to the lodge was about 40 minutes
through the village of Mfuwe. There were not many lights but lots of people
walking and riding bikes up and down the road. You could smell the fires of
those living in the village.
We are staying at the Mfuwe lodge, which is one of the few
places you can stay within South Luangwa Park. It is made up of 18 chalets.
Once we passed through the gates of the park we had our first sighting. There
in the middle of the road was a large Leopard. It just sat there for a moment
before getting up, stretching, and then moving off the road.
Welcome to Zambia.
