The second safari, in South Luangwa National Park, was an hour's flight from Lusaka, capital of Zambia. We stayed at Mfuwe Lodge within the game park. At times elephants, lions, and hippos graced the lodge's reception. Scattered around were tastefully furnished chalets. Behind our chalet, Impala, was a small body of water. I settled down into the cane swing on the balcoly and looked around. There was a stone sculpture of a crocodile with an open mouth on the opposite bank. After sometime it slid into the water! There were more live crocs in the small lake below the chalet's balcony than I’ve seen in my life. On the other side of the lodge was a river which was mostly dry. From the deck of the lodge one could see zebras, elephants, deers, giraffes, and baboons warily sharing the pools of water. Mfuwe Lodge
