Staff Report - Chris Breen in Zambia - October 2007

Amazing. 14 hours after sitting in London at Heathrow, we were drinking a beer at Chikoko, a small bush camp in the heart of the Luangwa Valley. I am not sure why this still amazes me, I am lucky enough to have done the journey from the UK to Zambia many times, but it does. It is a really humbling experience to suddenly find yourself in a wildlife rich area which bears no resemblance to home, and yet which offers all the creature comforts you could possibly want... a bar serving ice-cold beer, a room with a view (and it really is a view), a comfortable bed, a cooling shower, and fabulous food. The view of course in this case being of a rich fertile plain with zebra, puku, impala and baboons. What a great way to begin a week-long safari....
