I have fallen in love with Zambia — the park, the people, the animals, and Mfuwe Lodge. Two more game drives today with a spa appointment in the middle – the spa is unbelievable! (More below)
Let’s start with the morning drive. Up at 5:00 am and left by 6:00 am.
What we came across first was a lion kill. There were 15 lions of the same pride eating an African Buffalo they had killed sometime during the night. I have videos—but it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s nature in action.
That was a sobering moment for us all. What we came across next was even more so…one of the leopards also made a kill—a baby waterbuck. He had it under the tree with him. The sad part was the momma Waterbuck was calling for it but keeping her distance from the leopard. We saw this first thing in the morning. When we went back late afternoon, the momma was still there giving her alarm call/snort.
On a much lighter note, here are some other amazing views from today.☀️
Afternoon break at the incredible spa! The spa is situated at the edge of a hippo pond.
One thing I forgot to mention about Mfuwe Lodge—we have an afternoon tea at 3 with snacks every day. And then the drums call us to dinner! The food was incredible—tonight we had Mongolian stirfry.
I will be “making a plan” to come back to Africa as soon as possible.
