Trip Across Africa DAY #2
Had toast and coffee at 6:00am at Mama Rula’s, then headed out for Mfuwe and the South Luangwa Game Reserve. It was a grueling journey over some of the rockiest terrain we have had to travel on. We were praying that our mechanic angels were holding the rig together as we cruised all the way there, dodging the biggest rocks and maneuvering carefully around potholes.
.We finally made it to Mfuwe after a 3+ hour trip. We decided to go with what missionary friends of ours suggested as a place to stay; a place called, "Flat Dogs Camp." Let me tell you something about God’s favor…Once again, He has been so faithful to us. We got a campsite for a few dollars per/person. We had decided we would stay two nights instead of one before we arrived, and it just so happened, that we could only spend two nights at the camp anyway, as they were closing it on July 1st, the day we were already planning on leaving anyway. AND, we set our tent up in a tree and will be sleeping there for two nights (Don’t worry, I secured the tent very well and we talked to our kids already about safety). Our friends also said that they saw a lot of wildlife in the camp itself, and again, they were right. We have a lot of monkey friends who, we think, are looking for food.

We spent the late morning and early afternoon driving around South Luangwa Game Reserve, both on the main tracks, as well as using four wheel drive on paths less traveled (which is where we saw the coolest animals). We saw elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, warthogs, elands, pukus, baboons, cape buffalo and a plethora of other wildlife as well as beautiful scenery. It is by far the best game park we have been to. Since we drove in and paid at 11:00am this morning, and the ticket is good for 24 hours, we will get up and drive around another area of the park for a few hours tomorrow morning, where we hope to catch a glimpse of more of God’s handiwork. Check out all the pics. Soon to come will be a short video of our journey through the park as well.
