Geo: -15.1093, 30.2069In the morning we packed and went swiftly.. we thought we would get to Lusaka (the Capital) about midday and planned to eat lunch at a place called Ghandi's.. very nice Indian thalli's and Chai.. stocked up with food and fuel and headed out..It was approaching 5:00pm, through what felt like the middle of now where, just about resided ourselves to camping in the scrub somewhere and Lisa noticed a dodgy sign to a place to camp. We followed a dirt track winding through villages, waving to all the kids along the way thinking if there is a camp down here we are going to be amazed. Well amazed we were, as we were greeted with the most creative camp site called Bridge Camp, run by an English couple, complete with bar and swimming ... read more

I stop to check it out and another chap on the other side is also having a look.. we both wade to the middle and find it is about 2mm short of the male critical zone.. his vehicle is a petrol version of a RAV with low range thrown in..

Geo: -19.6, 23.7833First real experience of camping without any fences separating them from us. After sun down Lisa and I headed to the toilet to get some water for washing up, I heard a rustling in the grass behind and went ti investigate.. no lions only a dam big brown coloured snake approx 2.5mtrs long heading our way probably because it could smell the water.. no worries Lisa grabbed a bigger torch and in true Oze style we scared the thing off.Feeling victorious we retuned to camp sad down to enjoy a cup of tea.. all of a sudden we heard big grass crunching noises coming from the bush.. Lisa flew towards the car and exclaimed 'Darren get in the car its something big'.. Yep she was right however I was somewhat more controlled and with ... read more
