We flew from Livingstone to Mfuwe via Lusaka, where we were met by our guide from Mfuwe Lodge and transferred for one hour to the lodge. The drive was really interesting as it travels through a number of villages, so there is lots going on and lots of people out walking along the road. On arrival at the lodge we checked into our room and went straight out on our 4.30 pm night drive, didn’t return until 8pm. A big part of it is done in the dark with a spotter and a spotlight. more…

As we discussed at locuraviajes, there are lots of webcams located throughout the world that let us see what is happening in these places in real time. The one that I discussed today is located in a nature reserve in Kenya, particularly in the pond Nkorho. This pond is the only one there for miles around, so it is possible to see the animals on quenching their thirst with assiduity.

One of the most recommended travel through Africa is one who travels in a vehicle 4 x 4 countries of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. There are plenty of amazing scenery there, and one of them is Okawango Delta in Botswana.
This natural park itself justify a trip to Botswana, not only for its incredible beauty, but for such an incredible feeling that you experience being in such close contact with animals. This feeling is not experienced in any other national park in Africa.

One of the things that are more curious people living in Kenya and Uganda when they meet Western cooking is to know how the Europeans. Inma during their stay in an NGO in Kenya had the opportunity to try a lot of local foods, including the typical food of Uganda, Matoke.
The Matoke is a kind of dough made with boiled green bananas, mixed with chopped garlic, onion, pepper and meat. All that is stirred and served with a sort of chopped peanut sauce, which, though apparently not part of what is “Matoke” if often used in other dishes to accompany the meat.

One of the Kenyan TV shows attracted more viewers gathered in front of the boob in that country is “This is not fair,” a program broadcast in Swahili on Wednesday afternoon. Inma, during his trip to Kenya had the opportunity to see some peculiar episodes of the program, the Black and white TV with the “house” where he was “staying”.
The program in question is a series of educational, teaching good manners to viewers in different social situations, where you can find an inhabitant of the country. The issue that I was commenting Inma was entitled “How to behave in the library” (a Inma it translated).

This year we were fortunate to travel to Kenya. One activity we did during our trip was a safari where we had the opportunity to visit the Masai Mara reserve. In addition to the incredible amount of animals, all different you see, also visited a Massai village.
The truth is that the situation is rather curious. Upon arrival you get the village chief, and then negotiate with him, the price to enter and visit their village. Once negotiated the price, you send a kid Massai, more or less young, who speaks English and is going to be the one to tell you things from their village.
