After spending the night at our campsite we headed out of Livingstone towards Shesheke.
Gorgeous Man had posted on a Zambia travel forum asking for good places to see butterflies and after taking a look at his blog a lodge approached him with the offer of free accomodation in return for a survey of their butterfly population and so that was our first destination.
This was the main road.
This was a good road as far as Zambian roads go.
From the road we had our first view of the Zambezi River.
We also passed through traditional villages. The picture was taken from the window of the car as we flashed past. I wanted to capture what the countryside looked like, but at the same time I didn’t want to just pull up and take pictures of someone’s house.
Once at the lodge, Gorgeous Man spent a few days butterfly hunting and Gorgeous Girl found ways to amuse herself.
Climbing and swinging from the fence railings
and creating artwork in the sand.
This is a bug.
We were so tired that we spent the first few days here going to sleep as soon as the sun set. It was most relaxing. It also rained a fair bit while we were there and so I holed up in the cabin and got lots of knitting done. Just what my soul needed.
I think that’s one of the reasons why I crave camping – going to bed with the sun. That and the no housework thing. I dreamed of camping in Africa last night – we were having such a nice time.
Great bug! I think it’s just the angle of the photo, but it looks like footprints went to look at the bug art then walked back. Cute!
Sounds like a wonderful few days! Love the scenery!
That’s so great that you got free accommodations!! Hope you had fun!!
Love the bug in the sand. It’s lovely seeing the places you visit. Anne
