I can think of a lot worse places than Lukwe Camp at Livingstonia to be told to sit and do nothing. To round things off, Gareth and Kirsty (who we met further south on the lake) turned up. Gareth says … Continue reading
We’d spent the whole day either out in the fields with the Wells For Zoe team or ferrying them around the muddy clay valley. They were going for dinner at Pine Tree Lodge and asked if we wanted to tag … Continue reading
