Picnic - South Luangwa style

On a day long drive from Nkonzi Bush Camp we spent an idyllic three hour lunch break near (note NOT underneath) a Sausage Tree up-river near Lion Camp.

Here, after a cold beer and a delicious lunch, we sat and watched Yellow Billed Storks putting on an airshow worthy of the RAF, wheeling and whirling around as they came in to land on a sand bank in the river, Hippo wallowing in the cool water and Elephant coming down to drink. Then afterwards a snooze as the heat of the mid day sun eased.

The only downside was having to leave our comfortable chairs to drive back to camp - if a fascinating game drive can ever be referred to as a downside!
