The big trip

 From Tena tena we took a day long drive up into the Nsefu area.

First stop was a famous stork colony (currently vacant as the storks are migratory). You can just make out how the trees are bleached white from the droppings.

 We drove on tracks like this for a couple of hours, during this time we saw two other vehicles and two fellows from the anti poaching patrol (dressed in boiler suits and wellies with AK47s slung across their backs - it must have been 35 degrees).

 Many years ago the government of Zambia tasked a drilling company to look for water.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) the co-ordinates were wrong and they drilled here - many many miles from any habitation. What they found was a thermal reservoir and to this day hot water (too hot to touch comfortably) wells up, creating a wetland haven for all sorts of wildlife.
