Safari, Finally!

I know I haven't posted on here since New Year's, but I haven't done anything except work since then. This past weekend, we decided to take a trip to the Zambia's South Luangwa National Park for a safari. While this is not the best time of the year for a safari, I still wanted to go and see for myself. We stayed at Mfuwe Lodge inside the park. It was quite nice.

From left to right, Paston (our excellent guide), yours truly, Harmony, Ben, and Shash.

Within 15 minutes of our first drive, we saw this amazing sight.

Wild dogs are one of the rarest sightings in Zambia. The guide was so excited we found this pack of nine. They are considered the most efficient of hunters, working together to kill their prey 80% of the time (compared to Lions that are successful 30% of the time).

Ben took these pictures with his fancy camera...
