Udzungwa Forest Camp, Hondo Hondo 22-25 July 2018 We had 3 nights booked here, and I could have easily stayed longer. Hondo Hondo is located on the edge of the Udzungwa National Park, with various agricultural enterprises around it and the village on it’s doorstep, so to speak. The accommodation offered is camping in a …
Bangweulu and the Shoebill that wasn’t 12-14 July We would have loved to explore a little more of Lavushi Manda, but we did not have the time. Bangweulu was calling.

10 July Hippo Bay to Fringilla We felt like intrepid adventurers heading into the unknown! We left Hippo Bay, drove over the dam wall and through the town of Ithezi Thezi on a reasonable tar road, which eventually petered out – most of the dirt road was actually quite good as it was being prepared …
8-10 July The ritual of the camp pack up, last shower under the “waterfall”, farewells, and off we set to Hippo Bay Campsite, located in the south of Kafue, on lake Ithezi Thezi, which is actually a dam. Richard and I have been listening to audiobooks, so this was a good chance to continue listening …
5-8 July The crew had a reasonably early start for the drive to Kasabushi, which is located in along the Spinal Road in the centre of Kafue. We did not spot much game, partly because we were not driving at a crawl, but also there was not too much to see. Swarms of Tsetse flies …
3 to 5 July 2018 The road to Kafue from Luiwa is long, so we were up early to get going….left by 7:30 am. We dismantled Nkandla, as our full Klippie arrangement had been dubbed by our fellow travellers (includes the shower and the fire pool is the washing up basin J), the night before, …

For guys it’s not as important but if they want their whomenfolk to join them on their camping endeavours then it is in their interest to take part in this conversation. Most bush toilets are long drops …
Ngonye to Liuwa Plains National Park 28 June to 3 July 2018 Up early next morning, pack up camp, and convoyed off to Mongu en route to Lyanga Community Campsite in Liuwa Plains National Park, run by African Peace Parks. The road all the way to Mongu is excellent. In Mongu we stocked up on …
Ngonye Falls Community Camp 26-28 June 2018 Our departure morning from Namushasha was also Meg Philips’s 17th birthday, so while we were packing up camp, eating breakfast, the Lambrecht clan got us all together to sing happy birthday and watch her open her pressies. Happy way to start a busy day. Last quick check of …
24-26 June 2018 The family hamlets and villages dotted along the road all along the Caprivi StripWe left Mubala Camp with a little sadness as we really enjoyed our stay, but we were excited to embark on the next leg of our African Adventure….to Namushasha to meet up with 4 families. The Lambrecht’s organized …
