Zambia – South Luangwa National Park

Day 308
32989 km since the beginning of the journey
Written in Zambia, Lusaka

More details about the crossing of Malawi-Zambia border, visas and other procedures will be described in the next post. Because right after crossing the border I made my way to one of the most famous natural park of Sambia, 150 km away.

It is now this kind of a post that has lots of pictures of African animals and little other issues. And no "Action".

Retrospectively sorting images it comes out that, as always, the zebras are leaving the picture and so are guinea fowls, and in this park the wart hog can`t not tolerate any shooting at all, but otherwise the elephants didn`t run away from the camera and I managed to have some other animals in the picture as well.



Some differences in visit-regulations – in most East-African parks the ticket is valid for 24-hours, but here the ticket is valid just that day. So you can enter park in the morning at six o'clock and a drive around till six o'clock p.m.






As soon as I turned away from the big road there was a pool and a hippo. This time a little more than the eyes and nostrils were out of water.



The water is really shallow for this kind of a big animal.




Giraffes in the midst of greenery.





And about a hundred yards away under a bush in the shadow a lion with the offspring.







Next some more lion pups.

Protection coating??



The wart hog and three piglets.



This photo was taken at noon by the main road of the park. Two more lions under bush in the shade.



Conversation??



How far away were they then? Perhaps about 5 meters, didn`t measure. For a moment had the idea to turn the window a little upwards, but can`t take pictures through the glass.



















The remains of a buffalo.





The animals of savannah.









Evening Sun



This is a picture taken in low light, the elephants began to move along the river bed, it was almost 6 p.m. and the visiting time was over.

But everything was not over for that day, because in the dark the elephants came to visit the camping. To be continued ...
