Walking Safari full of suprises at Kapamba Bushcamp, South Luangwa Zambia

Wake up call 5:30am, very excited for our first Safari walk. The bushcamps is one of the few places you can walk instead of being in a jeep.
While having coffee we talked about all we heard the night before.

 A elephant had come by George & Tori's Chalet, rubbing himself along the side, and then going right outside their veranda to eat leaves from the tree. He was still hanging around this morning but moved to the area just behind camp.
  We all heard the Hyaena's which were making themselves at home in the camp all night, keeping Mwase busy. There were a few other sounds we think must of been hippo's but not real sure. What we did here close by were some lions.
 Misek suggested that before we start a walk perhaps we should go see if we can spot the lions. Sounded great to all of us. He thought they were close to one of the other camps Bilimungwe.
Off we went in search of lions.
   Misek spotted one laying just off the road, relaxing.

As we moved the jeep around for a better view another one was right there in front of us.

Amazing to see these 2 beautiful lions just enjoying the morning sunshine.
 They were 2 big males.

It is a incredible thing to be this close out in the wild watching lions do what do.

Like all cats it was clear it was now nap time so we moved on.

We crossed what we have named Kingfisher bridge to a spot to start our morning walk.

We need to go in a single line with our Zambia Scout in the lead. There was some mild concern for the what if a cat is around. Step #1 access the animals mood. Sounds reasonable enough. Not sure I want to know step #2.

We walked for a good 2 hours stopping for some mid morning tea & coffee under the trees.

As we got closer to the where we thought we had parked the jeep we got a huge surprise.

There under the trees was a table all beautifully set, waiting for our arrival. We were having brunch right there in the middle of the bush.

Mwase had a bar all set up for us.

Dixon was cooking up a delicious breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, corn fritter, bake beans, potatoes, eggplant, & toast.

A perfect setting to end a wonderful morning.

Thanks to Julius, Chef Dixon, and the rest of the staff at Kapamba for such a wonderful treat.
