Monday by Liv and Paige

Hey guys

We are missing out yesterdays blog because nothing actually happened apart from being on a bus for 10 hours as we drove from Butterfly Space down to the safari cam! It was really tiring but eventually we reached our lovely accommodation at Bushmans Baobab camp in time to watch a beautiful sunset over Liwonde National Park (we even saw an elephant!). We spent the night in a spacious dorm, however it was freezing!

We woke up at 5am in order to prepare for the safari at 6am. We were split into 2 groups and we each went in an open jeep which was surprisingly comfortable. During the safari we encountered many animals including elephants, waterbucks and impalas. There were also kudus and warthogs and we even saw a hippo, which was surprising as we had been told we were not going to see one.

We thought the safari was an amazing experience that we are sure none of us will ever forget.

We got back from our safari about 9am and had a delicious English breakfast. After breakfast we packed up the bus again and began our journey to Mabuya lodge in Lilongwe where we will spend the final night before flying home tomorrow.

See you all on WednesdayJ


Love from Liv and Paige and the rest of the team

Hi Moll, looks like you have all had a great last couple of days. Would have loved to have been on that safari with you all, looked real awesome, how far away from the animals were you. Not to long now before you'll be back home, can't wait to hear about everything you all got to do. I know I have said this, and so have lots of other. We are very proud of you all, and you should all be proud of yourselves. The things you have all done to help the children, something that you will all remember for ever. Bye for now Moll, take care and keep safe. love and miss you. Molly's Nanar and Grandpa xxxx
