Eid is a national holiday in Malawi, so we had Friday off. To make the most of our three-day weekend a group of us headed to Liwonde National Park, a couple hours' drive to the north.
The park is situated on a river originating at the huge Lake Malawi, and is a home to many different species of animals, like elephants, antelope, monkeys, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, and eagles. We spent a relaxed Saturday checking out all of these animals from a safari truck and boat, as well as from the lookout point in our camp.
The highlight of the weekend was a lunchtime visit from a herb of 10 elephants to the outskirts of our camp. They were at the closest edge of a safe distance, but they never came closer.
All in all, it was a nice, relaxing weekend with just enough adventure thrown in.
Back to work.
