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
We left Will & Lindsey (still bickering) at Bridge Camp and drove about 250km east to Chipata (30km from the Malawi border). The first 100km or so was typical African wide sky, forested landscape. For the latter 150km the landscape … Continue reading
Whilst the car was at Foley’s Africa with Nick Selby we got the chance to spend some time doing nothing at all at Maramba River Lodge in Livingstone. It’s been a great place to chill for a few days. We … Continue reading

Being in Kruger for almost 3 weeks has been wonderful. . We’ve seen animals that are shy… …some that are really ‘in your face’…. …and some that look fierce & intimidating when you come across them, but when they think … Continue reading
Heading east from Golden Gate Highlands we passed through an area of many towns with Scottish names – Glencoe, Dundee, Kinross, Aberdeen. I’m not sure of the origin, but there is certainly a similarity in the landscape (and the weather … Continue reading
