Day 11: Safari!

Today we had an early start to set off on our 5 hour journey to Liwonde national park. Luckily we had Ms Barker's great tunes to keep us going and singing along. We arrived at Mvuu and were taken across the river to the park in a boat, from this we could already see some of the animals! 

We then went to our camp site and were amazed to find a monkey waiting for us and running water in the bathrooms! Then we put up our tents and headed to the reception where we were picked up for our jeep safari. All of us were in one big jeep on some extremely bumpy roads, we all almost fell out! But fortunately our game keepers were able to spot fresh elephant tracks and we found a family of 8 elephants, all of us couldn't believe how close we were to real elephants in their natural habitat. We also got to see monkeys, alligators, warthogs, impala, waterbuck, mongoose and a massive variety of birds. 

Now we are waiting for our BBQ and there is a very different opening ceremony to the amazing one we were lucky enough to receive in Chilingani. I think we are all starting to realise quite how amazing the village was and how much we want to go back already. And are missing Joe a lot!! But we are really looking forward to the boat safari and climbing Zomba plateau tomorrow. 
See you all soon
Maisy and Erin xx

    Looks like you all fell down a big hole! It's great to see where you are and that you all look so well.

    Great to see you have running water and a great safari. Nice pictures - just wondering why if you are standing at the bottom of the long drop you are all looking up...!! Enjoy some semi-civilisation and the sites the animals provide you. See you soon.

    The safari sounds amazing! Mum and Dad say they're really proud of you and can't wait to see you in America! I'll see you on Saturday and promise to take you wherever you want for food! Maybe the breakfast club if you're not too tired?! Love Georgia x
