... that) $20 USD for 10 liters. The BMW seemed to run with the stuff. I think that is was blended with kerosene because it costs bugger all. <br>There is a fuel shortage here in Zambia. Not much petrol so hopefully we can sort out petrol tomorrow. We are off to South luangwa national park tomorrow. Will split the day and camp half way because the trip is about 600 ks <br> All good<br> Cheers miles

Heading to Lusaka now and the road is being replaced (thanks very much to the Chinese Government) thus numerous detours which made a long trip even longer.. we came across a place called Moorings Camp and it is great in the middle of nowhere green grass and a happy array of puppy dogs. Interestingly there turned out to be a number of these farms where you can kind of camp on the front lawn of the farm house, very nice but a bit on the smelly side. We think they were farming pigs.

... crammed next to the window and hung her head outside the window almost the entire time to avoid the effects of chlaustrophobia and avoid the body odor of the bus. Brittany was smushed in between Lindsey and a young big-boned Zambian woman with a baby. The lady took up half the seat and was breastfeeding her baby the whole way while he kicked Brittany. Brittany was pretty miserable and after 4 hours made Lindsey switch seats with her. Lindsey was ...

<br> Monday 24th August. We drove on through the villages and arrived at the capital of Zambia the town of Lusaka. We stayed at Eureka camp. This camp is attached to a game reserve (private) where we drove in to see giraffe and zebras and after setting up camp we walked ...

... for those who can afford them. Some members of the groups I travelled to Zambia with were medical students who put their knowledge of Western medicine to the test in Lusaka&#8217;s main hospital, as well as providing check ups for street children and children living in poverty in the Linda compound with no resistance.<br><br>However, traditional practitioners such as Dr. Mulonde continue to thrive and ply their trade openly in spite of the growing cynicism towards them. Whether you ...

... this, it was quite out of character for me when I turned down the chance to see Kariba Dam on the River Zambezi. It was the summer of 2006, during my first foray into Zambia (and for all I knew at the time, quite possibly my last). I&#8217;d never seen a dam before, let alone one of the magnitude that the black and white photos hung up in our lodge had promised this would be. We were only staying at Lake Kariba for a few days, so this genuinely appeared to be a once in a lifetime ...

Jambo! 2 new pax joined us in Lusaka, Kylie &amp; Andrew, a married couple from New Zealand who seem really nice. We also lost 2 people, Vicky &amp; Craig who were lovely so we'll miss them. We crossed into Zimbabwe &amp; spent a night in a campsite at the edge of Lake Kariba. The next morning we boarded the houseboats where we spent 2 nights. They were very nice, we ...

... by both countries. We left our passports at Zambian border control and drove to view the dam. People can walk on the Dam and reach the other side, which is the territory of Zimbabwe. But only when reaching the top of the hill on the other side of the Dam, we would encounter Zimbabwean border control. So off I walked along the dam ...

... the airport for a long and painful conversation full of wishy washy talk in an office before the Zambian customs officials just decided on a seemly whim that yes, they could bring the medical packs into the country. Why the long drawn out process, I will never understand. Once they returned and we could see that we had not been deserted in this strange country, we had lunch before leaving for Kabwe. That was the last time we had food we truly ...
