Zambia: Lilongwe – Lusaka


This will be a short update as there isn't much to say about Zambia as we didn't really do anything in country. We had two nights/three days in Zambia, with all of our days being spent in the truck crossing the country from Malawi to Zimbabwe. Our days entail getting up at ungodly o'clock (about 4:45am), having a quick brekky and then hitting the road by no later than 6am. Then driving through Zambia until about 5pm, at which point we'd set up tent, have a few drinks, crash and repeat the next day.

One highlight of Zambia was that at our campsite for the second night, there was a fenced off nature reserve just outside of camp that had zebra, giraffe, impala and warthogs in it, which we went and explored by foot, looking for the animals on foot (as we were assured there were no predatory animals about). We found several giraffes which we followed through the bushes for an hour or so, which was quite cool. We got quite close to them which was pretty exciting.

Day 3 in Zambia and we headed for the border of Tanzania, which will be our final country visited as part of our tour so I'll post a separate update on Tanzania. Sad to think that our travels within Africa are coming to an end, with just under 10 days remaining (at time of writing this).
