Monday
On our way to the airport to get our first of 3 flights!
Had yet another large meal with a huge muffin, happy people!
Really sad to say goodbye to Malawi and all the fantastic people we met.
Sunday afternoon
After yet more food, we went on a boat safari on the Shire river, which is a tributary for the Zambezi river. We saw so many hippos it was impossible to count, we saw Elephants, lots of birds, water buck and crocodiles.
On our return to the lodge, we took advantage of the really warm showers, watched the sunset from the viewing towers.
We had another large meal and sat and chatted to a German/French family that we met at Mayoka.
What a fantastic way to end our trip at the safari lodge.
