Chipata
This is a top pick! ... and since Duncan needs to get back to South Africa at some point, we take this opportunity to cross the border today.... In Chipata, Zambia, the stores are so full of foods compared to Malawi that we bought too much obviously and went a bit bizurk... ...
Lusaka to Chipata
Another long day of driving 600km to reach Chipata, which is near the Malawian boarder. Not much to see along the way, but we did pass through an intesting village and managed to get a few ...
Chipata and Safari
... in front of us didn't sway back on forth with the jostling bus and crush our knees. We did make it back to Chipata, frustrated, bruised and uncomfortable, but with enough time to catch the early bus to Lusaka. We arrived at one in the morning. The ...
On the hunt for a Zambian leopard
... diplomatic relations. Once through the border, we stocked up on fuel (2/3 of Malawian cost) and food (1/2 Malawian cost) in Chipata. It was a relief to find sensibly priced food after the vastly inflated Malawi pricing to which we had become accustomed. ...
Last day before the Holiday
Today was my last dinner before my break. I'm really looking forward to 3 days of sleep. Dinner was total crap. Honestly. Worst meal of the trip. The meat was gritty from too much tenderizer, it really took on an odd consistency. What the hell is ...
Local Soccer and Truck loads of fun
... left South Luangwa and headed towards Zambia but spent a night at a local camp called Mehurti Lodge being constructed in a town called Chipata. Staying here we were lucky to get to go to a local soccer match on a truck with the team being sponsored by ...
Chipata
... inspired by an African landscape. Kids facinated by their photos on the screen. Photogenic set of kids. Smiling, hugging, and gathering other kids. They love the camera. Camping in Chipata, Zambia at Mama Rulas. Long day of travel. "ignorance is ...
An afternoon off
... he can get a feel for the kitchen while I'm still here to help. This allowed me to enjoy an afternoon walk. The people of Zambia are friendly. People smile and wave as I wander past. I took some photos of some kids playing in the streets. They are always ...
Lusaka to Chipata, edge of Zambia
A whole day, pretty much, in the truck. It was a bit boring but we amused ourselves with Uno and Boggle. We camped at Mama Rula's campsite which was very nice - they had 2 pet parrots! Even though we hadn't rally done anything that day most of us were ...
Chipata, Zambia
... .24-Left Lilongwe for the 2 hour trip to the border. Crossed into Zambia with little trouble. About 20kms into Zambia sits the town of Chipata. We were headed all the way to Lusaka, the captial city, so Chipata was a good place to break ...
Crossing the border into Zambia (Mama rula)
At the early hours of this morning we finally left Malawi and crossed the border into Zambia. A small town known as Chipata, and the name of the campsite was Mama Rula, owned by a very scary South African Lady! Actually her whole family was living there. ...
Fact: monkeys can unscrew lightbulbs
... lucky as sometimes the forms mysteriously go missing, thus forcing you to pay the visa costs. After an uneventful stopover in Chipata, we journeyed down a horrific dirt road to South Luangwa National Park for game drives/walks and a night safari. Some ...
Chipata 2
... . We set off from Lusaka at 11am and arrived in Chipata around seven hours later. We enquired about how to get to Mfuwe the next morning, then checked into the local Protea Hotel. I've been to Chipata before... little else to say about the ...
Zambia!
... ! At $80, the most expensive country so far and no fancy sticker either. We were staying just 30 minutes from the border in Chipata (not chipati! - a flat bread that we've become a bit addicted to). We arrived at 4.30pm, the campsite was in a small wood, ...
Next Up: My Folks
... I signed out of Malawi and signed in to Zambia with the help of a very friendly immigration official. Then a short shared taxi ride to Chipata (is it me or does every time I write/say/read that word I think of Indian flat bread?!) and I was in a ...
A great loss
After another day trucking we crossed the border, set up camp and played a game of frisbee golf against the other truckers. Rat boy won! However following this things went downhill, one of the site's jack russells grabbed the frisbee (also my bowel) - ...
A quick stop through Zambia
... ;walked about 5km with our packs on in the heat to find Dean's Hill view Lodge in the Zambian border town of Chipata. As always the price had doubled, even though the business had only been running for one year and again, we were loners ...
Zambia 05
... its neighbours. What did we see and do: - Found a gem of a restaurant called Chef's Pride in a little town called Chipata which does one of the best skinless boneless chicken curries we have had - Visited the South Luangwa national park, which aside ...
Oh dear...here we go again!!
Well, the evening of the 7th just involved drinking in the bar, and evading elephants...and drunken people on my way to the loo in the night! The 8th started early with us heading back on a very bumpy road...unfortunately as we were close to our ...
A troublesome border
5th September - Sara and I packed up our tent as early as we could and then asked Ronnie and Peter to meet us at the entrance so we could go to the little souvenir shops again, as this was our last day in Malawi - already! At 11am we arrived in Lilongwe ...
Oude herinneringen, wildlife en the real Zambia
... mr. Phiri ons weet te vertellen: “Het echte Zambia is niet wat je ziet in Lusaka. Het is ook niet het Zambia dat je ziet in Chipata. Hier buiten de stad begint het Zambia zoals de meeste Zambianen het beleven. Maar het echte Zambia speelt zich af in ...
Chipata, Zambia
27 June - Chipata, Zambia This morning I had my best breakfast of the trip as I had my own delicious bread and cereal, combined with the group's milk, bananas and fruit jam. As we were on the truck about to depart the campsite, someone mentioned ...
Good rugby pub
We got away from Kande Beach early morning headed for Chipata. We spent about 2 hrs shopping and before we knew it were headed to our campground at Mama Rulas campsite. It was nice and cool as a storm had just hit. The bar was awesome as it was dedicated ...
Worst Journey of my Life!
... and start with huge potholes I could bury people in or loose a small car in, not quite responsibility I wanted. I arrived finally at Chipata around 9pm, after boarding in Lusaka 9am. I got a taxi to a hostel slept well and got back to bus station for ...
