Lusenga Plains Game Park
Visit the game parks - especially the Luangwa Valley. Unfortunately, I did not have the means to visit this fantastic park at the time that I was in Zambia, but I did manage a few others. One was the off-the-track Lusenga Plains park in the north near Lake Mweru. This was not open to the general public but, because of our 'volunteer' contacts, we were able to get an escorted tour in the park. Photo of our party on foot with an armed Ranger with signs of recent burning of the grass as was customary by the local tribes people. Walking around here made me feel for the first time what an antelope must feel like - you are just another meal to a lion! Since then I have also been to Ngorongoro (Tanzania), Amboseli (Kenya) and Kruger (South Africa) and this was the only time that anyone was ever allowed out of their tour vehicle. Once you are on foot, all the rules change as far as the predators...
