Day 79 to 82 ( 4th to 7th October 2015 )

We drove from Chipata to South Luagwa Game Reserve and booked in to the Wildlife Camp outside the park. Most travellers recommend that one should stay outside the park and take daily game drives due to the high fees charged to stay inside the park. This was good advice. The park is about 9000 km2 so self driving would be a tedious task especially with a vehicle of our size.

The campsite was very basic but the game drives were exceptional. We saw many animals like Lion, Elephant,Leopard, Buffalo, all the buck species in that area, an abundance of birds including the crowned blue crane. The highlight was an evening drive with a leopard kill on an impala and hyenas finishing off the remains.

We travelled back to Chipata and stayed at Mama Rulas where Max got electrocuted once again connecting the Electrical supply to the camper even after they confirmed that the problem had been rectified. Max went flying once again and landed on his back proving that one does not need Red Bull to Fly.
