Into the Wild

Last Friday I travelled next door to South Luangwa, Zambia. Did I have a good time? It is now one of my favourite places in the entire world, so yes.

South Luangwa is widely known for it's beautiful landscapes and abundance of wildlife. I was there for 4 days and I couldn't help notice how happy I was. Whether I was waking up to the sound of hippos, listening to the chirping birds, looking at elephants in their habitat for hours, feeling the adrenalin of being 3m away from a lion or crossing a crocodile infested river in a jeep, I was constantly appreciating the opportunity of being able to be in such an incredible place.

I apologise if this post is a bit too corny, but I'm still overwhelmed by this experience. I am now almost broke, but it was worth it. I got offered a job over dinner with the manager of the lodge where I stayed at- I didn't accept it but I didn't refuse it either. It's been over a month that I have been in Africa, and if my family and friends were right about "the first month will always be the hardest", I cannot wait for the next 5 months.
