Zambia - South Luangwe NP

Up before sunrise for an early morning game drive through South Luangwa National Park. The sunrise was beautiful and the park equally as picturesque. Within our first hour we had seen our final member of the Big Five.... the Leopard! It was very cool. And then within the remaining 3 hours we saw Hippo’s, Elephants, Buffalo’s, Hyena’s, Warthogs, and lots of Impala and similar animals.... what a fabulous morning!
Then whilst relaxing at the campsite whilst awaiting our evening game drive some Elephants with their calf came to visit, graze on the trees and explore the bins in the campsite. They were so close you could see the hair on their face, it was slightly scary but absolutely awesome!
Our evening game drive was a little less exciting but still an experience looking for animals by spotlight after dark. The highlight was that we got to witness yet another spectacular African sunset.
