View from Livingstonia down to lake Malawi

After leaving the lake once again we headed to another real Africa adventure, elephant spotting :). We drove with our little sirence car (white bulgarian cheese) into the park shortly before sunset to see a large heard of elephants not even 100m away from us, not a care in the world. It was a fantastic welcome! Soon it was time to go and the heards slowly went down to the water and away into the forest, right in front of our eyes! When the show was over, we made a fire and cooked our food. It was now 7.30 pm and completely dark! The unfamiliar noises of wildlife were rather disturbing. The night was lit by an almost full moon and beautiful. In the morning we rose at 5.30 am to a beautiful sunrise and off we went on a walking safari, we saw hippos, kudus, bush barks and all kinds of other small animals. Then we came back and had breakfast, what a way to start the day.

Livingstonia was our next spot, where we spent a great couple of days walking and enjoying the scenery. The town was established by Catholic missionaries high up in the mountain to flee from malaria. It has the only stone house in the country and apart a place of great beauty is inspiring with the will and determination those people had. And the strenght of their faith...

We had decided to skip the Nyka Plateau and head for Tanzania!
