After an intense beginning to our trip, we were due for a safari. We departed from Lilongwe to Zambia for a two day expedition. I was eager to see animals in their natural habitat. Once we reached the border of Malawi, we had to sign an exit form to leave the country, and an entry form to enter Zambia. The drive took 6 hours along a rough, muddy road to reach Croc Valley Lodge in Zambia. Once we arrived, there were monkeys swinging from trees, as well as, hippos and crocadiles relaxing in the river. Our sleeping quarters consisted of a three bed chalet in the open wild.
There was an elephant standing 25ft from where we were sleeping. I was amazed that these animals were roaming freely around the camp. Zambia is protected by National Parks, unlike the deforestation in Malawi. There were luscious green trees that stood high, something that you would see in a Disney movie. This was the start of an amazing two day adventure!
