Down the Mighty Zambezi

Our ten days of swanky hotels, top-notch restaurants and guided tours has come to a close. For the next two days we'll be traveling to Mansa District in northern Zambia's Luapula Province, and will be arriving in Mwanachama, Stefan's village, on December 21st. As wonderful of a time we've had reconnecting and living in a bit of luxury, which we both are reluctant to admit we missed, the real adventure is about to begin. 



Canoeing down the Zambezi:

In choosing between a sunset cruise and canoeing, we figured the latter was more our style. 



Note the baby crocodile!

Sandwiched between two groups of hippos, warning us with their deep-throated yelps to get out of their territory!

On the way home, we spotted a giraffe chillin' by the side of the road. 


Now it's to cooking over charcoal, pooping in pit latrines, picking organic vegetables and playing with the iwes (children). More to come!
