Zambia is encouraging social distancing, in line with most other countries across the world. We are not yet facing lock-down since cases appear to be very low and not increasing….we sincerely hope that this is not due to under-reporting or mis-representation. However, as family, we are not taking any chances and are imposing our own self-isolation, at least until the situation is clearer.
We are fortunate to be able to access the National Park without interacting with anyone else, so we have been visiting on a daily basis. This is a wonderful privilege, but also serves an important function: with almost no visitors to the National Park, law enforcement operations have fewer eyes on the ground to report poaching-related incidents. The more people who visit the park, the better chance we have of protecting the wildlife.
Every week or so, I’ll do a brief round up of the sightings from the National Park. Of course, not all wildlife encounters make good photos, so these are just the sightings where I took photos. I hope you enjoy these brief updates from the South Luangwa:
More coming next week and other blog entries, on various topics, in the meantime. Thanks for following along – always grateful for your support and I look forward to seeing you in the bush when we emerge from this challenging period.
