Luangwa National Park, Zambia


We spent many hours searching to find a leopard.  It's unbelieveable how all the animals pay absolutely no attention to the people watching them.  She walked so close to our truck while stalking some Impalas,  I could've reached down and touched her.    









The giraffes are covered in ticks.  They let the birds crawl all over them as they eat the bugs right off of them.




This is a Baobab tree.    



Luangwa National Park was originally a game reserve that opened up in 1938.  In 1972 it was converted to a national park covering roughly 9000 sq kilometers.  There are so many wild animals around, they won't even allow you to leave the camp.  Nearly every morning we had a heard of Elephants come wandering through.  In two days of game drives, we must've seen several thousand animals.
