Leaving Mzuzu - Safari Plans!

This is our last day in Mzuzu and I am ready for a change of scenery.  We were able to accomplish a lot, but were also not able to do one of the projects we hoped to do due to some complex internal politics - which we don't really understand as outsiders.

Tomorrow will be a long bus ride back to Lilongwe and a new place to stay that we have never tried before so that will be interesting.  Looks like a nice place and the location is better for us to work with Flemmings Nkhandwe.

What I am really excited about is a safari we just booked to Majete Wildlife Park near Blantyre.  It was nearly defunct of wildlife 20 years ago and after a concerted effort in the community to stop poaching and to protect the local farmers from damages they have successfully reintroduced wildlife to the area and hope to become a "Big 5" destination.

Here is the lodge we will stay at:

It gets rave reviews!
