| November 2008 New President Promises to Reduce Visa Fees... |
|
| Following the recent death of the 3rd President of the Repubic of Zambia, elections were held recently. It was no big surprise that the previous Vice President and front-runner in the election, Rupiah Banda, was elected and subsequently sworn into office. In his acceptance speech President Banda singled out the tourism industry as being of vital importance to the country and we were very happy to hear him vow to reduce visa fees for visitors to Zambia. We will bring you more news on this when we have it. | |

| August 2008 Return to the Wild... |
|
 |
For a number of years now we have been keen to offer a select few guests something rather out of the ordinary. Whilst most guests regard our bushcamps as just about the most remote experience they could contemplate, some of our guests and those of us who spend more time in these camps find ourselves hankering for something even more “out there”. We were therefore thrilled when some guests expressed an interest in camping out in the bush. They declared their interest long before their arrival in Zambia so we were able to make detailed preparations for this experimental safari. Last week a group of four guests accompanied by Abraham Banda, Dave Wilson and our top escort scout set out from Kakuli walking to Nsolo, with a night-stop in between. The story makes for a great read so if you have a spare minute please read Dave's account of this memorable safari. |

| July 2008 Resident Leopard at Luwi Bushcamp... |
|
 |
We are experiencing a strange game viewing phenomenon at Luwi Bushcamp. There is a resident leopard close to camp who doesn't seem to realise that he is supposed to be a shy and nervous creature. Guests have watched him stroll past the front of camp in the evening light on several occasions. One walk has watched him kill a puku just yards in front of them and most recently he killed an impala in front of camp and then dragged it into a tree between rooms 2 and 3! |

| Kakuli Camp to be Venue for 2009 Rivers & Rainbows Safaris... | |
| The newly designed Kakuli Camp will be the venue for our 2009 Rivers & Rainbows safaris in February and March. Having run these trips from Mchenja for the past two years we believe that Kakuli, with its extended possibilities for walking as well as boating at that time of year, will provide us with a better Emerald Season experience and we are already looking forward to this most exciting time of year. | |

| March 2008 New Beach & Bush Package Launched… |
|
 |
Combining a bit of bush with a bit of beach has long been a favourite of many travellers to Africa. Until now Zambia has not been well positioned to add a beach experience to its safari packages. Now with direct flights between Lusaka and Dar-es-Salaam these combinations are a lot easier. We have combined with our favourite beach destination in Zanzibar, Fumba Beach Lodge, to come up with a great package that offers a few days on the Indian Ocean at the end of a safari in the South Luangwa. If you would like to know more about this package please contact us or alternatively click here to view the safari package showing more details. |

| February 2008 High river brings wealth of new gameviewing opportunities... |
|
 |
Greetings once more, from Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. The hot subject in all the bars in Mfuwe of late has been the water levels in the river, nothing new for this time of year of course but always an interesting subject. Zambia experienced heavier rain than normal in November, December and January, but the river had remained relatively low until a couple of weeks back. The Luangwa River then rose about 3 meters in as many days and has been running pretty close to the top of its banks ever since. |

| January 2008 Business as usual in the Luangwa Valley... |
|
| Amid fears of a global recession, riots in Kenya and floods in Zambia, we are happy to report that business is as usual in the Luangwa Valley. Mchenja re-opens this week. With access only possible by boat we have been monitoring water levels carefully. The Luangwa is currently sitting some five feet or more below the top of the banks. | |

| November 2007 School Project Update... |
|
 |
We are currently half way through the construction of a 3 classroom block at Yosefe School. With the ever increasing numbers of children attending the school there seems to be an endless demand for more facilities. We are also working on providing running water to the laboratory that we built in 2005 and the next big project we are hoping to achieve during the course of 2008 is to bring electrification to the school. |
