Kafue National Park Day 1

Our program director decided that the next two days could be slower for us, so the wake-up time is 7 am, with breakfast at 7:30 and the game drive starting at 8 am.

Wildlife viewing in Kafue National Park.

The accommodations at Lufupa Tented Camp are very nice.

In a few minutes drive from the camp we start seeing wildife.

We drove back up to see if the lions we saw yesterday were hanging around their kill. They were still there, and had washed up.

The Sausage tree is aptly named. They are about 18 inches long.

The bee-eaters were hanging out in the tree by our tent when we came back from lunch to rest.

After resting we went out for the afternoon game drive.

Jeeps stop when the elephants are crossing the road in front of you. This is one of the bigger elephants in the herd at the end of the line that crossed in front of us.

Hippopotamus come out of the river to feed on the grasses in the evening.

After sunset, we returned to camp with a night game drive with a spotlight. You look for red flashes from eyes as the guide waves the spotlight. The jeep in front of us missed this Galago also known as a bushbaby.

The bush pig is larger than a warthog and has a white mane and is active at night. The warthog is active during the day and will raise it’s tail when it runs.
