where is the orange thunder?


We are in now in Zambia and have had some exciting days at a camp close to South Luangwa National Park
(Luangwa means fishing basket). Here we had the unique chance of doing a night safari drive. Our own vehicle was not allowed in the park so we had to "do" with an open car equipped for the purpose with a huge spotlight. The night drive started late in the afternoon just when the sun was setting and the nocturnal animals get active. We saw a leopard attacking a flock of impalas, a serval cat and many other animals rarely seen in the day. We apologize for the lack of pictures of the event but it is well known that leopards, as ballet dancers or opera singers, do not like flashes during the function.
