Have you ever wanted to go on a photo safari in Africa? Me too. Last summer I was lucky enough to visit Gorongoza National Park in Mozambique. However their civil war decimated the animal population and we saw little other than water buck and warthog. (They are beautiful in their own right but not necessarily safari-worthy on their own merit). If you are planning on going on an African safari, be sure to plan it around the time where you’re more likely to see a lot more animals than we do, as that is the whole point of a safari. As there are many countries you can visit, it may be overwhelming when it comes to making a decision. So this is why doing some research into sites like https://www.zegrahm.com/african-safaris could be worthwhile and make the decison process a lot easier.
Liwonde National Park in Malawi, on the other hand, has a ton of animals. So many elephant, in fact, they were capturing some of the herd and taking them to another park while we were there. The staff and grounds are pretty fantastic too. If you’re interested in going on an African safari yourself, consider travelling with Global Basecamps for an unforgettable experience. The safari went something like this:
Sunrise as we set off toward the park.
The entrance, with its traditional African architecture.
Rules. So many rules for such a big place…
I remembered this sign the next morning when we started off on foot for our photo tour that the park officials coordinated, of course.
Sleeping quarters for two.
Pretty swanky, eh? This place was so clean and comfortable. I loved these tents.
What are those black things on the flood plain? Huh. Let’s get closer.
WOW! Where did you come from, Gorgeous?
Water Buck. Oy vey. I’ve seen enough of you. Scram! I’m trying to see your pachyderm friends.
You too Mama and Baby Baboon. Sure you are cute, but seriously. Did you see that elephant?
Yeah. That one. Wow. You, Mrs. Elephant, are incredible.
You’d be smiling like a goof ball too.
