South Luangwa (Zambia ) - Local people
Along the main road to the South Luangwa National Park, local woman return home from the bush with collected firewoood.
A colourful scene worth a shot-from-the-car window.
Our Mechenja bush camp guard.
Breakfast time at the Mechenja bush camp.
While on our walk, Mechenja bush camp staff pass us on a nearby bush road.
Standing in the back of the landrover, the cook saluted us all smiles.
'Prince'
Our guide-cum-guard at Nsolo bush camp. Quite special a person, sometimes a bit 'prince-like' in a positive way. He proved good at tracking animals and very knowledgeable of the local wildlife.
Our guard at Nsolo bush camp. A man of few words and a stern look, totally focused on his responsibilities for our safety.
On our early morning drive out of the Mechenja bushcamp, a pro-looking camera man had taken position near a pride of (very sleepy) lions. He seemed ready for a long wait for lion action to come some time later,....if at all.
On our way out of the park, our driver had a short chat with this colourful looking driver of an other safari group.
