Zambia - Chipata

A very early wake up this morning to get on the road for a long day. We spent 10h in the truck today driving through north east Zambia. The changes in the villages and hut architecture is really interesting. The huts have gone from completely straw, very communal living in Namibia, to straw with little fences and private sections in Botswana, to mud and brick walls with thatched roofs in Zambia. The villages in Zambia also have straw storage tanks scattered amongst the huts.
Tonight we stayed at Mama Rula’s campsite at Chipata which we shared with the President of Zambia. He obviously wasn’t camping :-).
