Tanzania: Serengeti & Home : On this leg of the trip, we visited Olduvai Gorge, which is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world & is commonly referred to as "The Cradle of Mankind." We drove on to our last national park to visit... The Serengeti. It was just as vast, beautiful and full of life, just like I saw on TV. We were there for the gathering of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeast & zebras make their way north to the Maasai Mara. Everywhere you looked, there was an animal waiting to start its journey. I someday hope to see what the Serengeti looks like when the millions are already gathered & ready to go!

On the Zambezi : The Zambezi river rises at Kalene Hill in the extreme northwest of Zambia close to the Congo and Angola borders. After a short distance in Zambia it crosses the Angola border flowing in a southerly direction for some 120 miles before re- entering Zambia north of the town of Zambezi and still flowing south. It then continues its course for another 300 miles or so across a vast floodplain before turning east at the town of Sesheke where it marks the border between Zambia and Botswana, and subsequently Zimbabwe as it heads for the Victoria Falls. On its course across the floodplain the Zambezi is fed by several large tributaries that have their origin in Angola as well as others which rise in Zambia. During the height of the rainy season from December to March the waters rise and spread across the plain, Isolating many of the villages which are built on mounds just above the flood level. Cattle are moved to higher ground and the only means of communication and transport is by boat or dug-out canoe, with fishing being the main ocupation at that time. Even when the floodwaters retreat during the dry season the Zambezi and its main tributaries remain the principal routes for the transport of people and goods over the floodplain area. In the second half of May 2009 I went on a 5 day safari to the Liuwa Plain National Park west of the Zambezi and lying between two tributary rivers , the Luanginga and the Luambimba. To get there we flew from the Zambian capital Lusaka to the small town of Kalabo on the Luanginga river and then crossed the river and drove onto the plain. On the way back we returned to Kalabo but instead of taking a plane from there we went by boat down the Luanginga and into the Zambezi as far as Mongu, the administrative centre of Zambia's Western Province. On the way we had the opportunity of visiting a breeding colony of Openbill Storks (see my separate gallery for photos of this spectacular sight) and we got a good idea of the river traffic and the people who live by the banks of the rivers in the Zambezi river system.
