Day 39: Roy's Camp – Mozhi Camp (in Kafue National Park)

The Kafue is divided into a northern and southern section. We have heard several times that there is not much to see in the south at the moment because of the dryness and so we drive to the northern part at the Hoocks Bridge Gate. A charming landscape, but that's all for the first two hours. In between it is amazingly green, almost forested, then dry and grey again, steppe grasslands and rocky sections make the whole thing quite varied.

The further north we go, the more animals we see – primarily antelopes and warthogs. There are said to be 21 species of antelope in the Kafue – let's see how many of them we get to see.

The Bongololo Campsite belongs to the Mozhi Camp and is located on the river of the same name, which flows into the Lufupa here. The place is OK, the sanitary block is clean and has a hot water heater, but the promised WiFi is only available in one place in the camp and there are already others there. 30 US dollars pppn... You can give them credit for the fact that they have to make enough money in the dry season to survive the rainy season and keep the camp going. We hear that the camp was able to open in May this year because there was very little rain. In the late afternoon we take another walk along the river bank and are always delighted by the hippos! Great light, lots of antelopes, great landscape.
