Spring is Here

I always look forward to Spring in England with the daffodils out, blossom on the trees and the lambs bouncing around.

Spring here in Luangwa is very different.  Temperatures sawing into the 40s being a big part of it.  Leaves falling to the ground to make room for the new leaves feels very strange to me.  It hasn't rained here now since when I first arrived in April so everything is looking a faded yellow colour and with all the leaves on the ground to me it looks more like the end of summer turning to Autumn.  But the most obvious sign pointing to the fact that Spring is well upon us is the sightings of babies!!  The most special is 2 seperate sightings of a lioness with cubs.  There is one near Kapamba (one of our bushcamps) with 2 cubs and then one a bit closer to home which is just around the corner.  Which our cameram has caught on video.  If you follow the link below you will get the most amazing clip of the lioness with her 3 cubs who are about 10days to 2 weeks old in the clip.
