Easter in Msuna


The Easter weekend saw us back at Msuna .. a favourite spot of ours !!  April / May is high water season for The River, and so it was lovely to see so much water as it was still rising.  This was a family & friends fun weekend.  I think I only got on to a boat once, maybe twice, but I till had the best time socialising with everyone, and ... of course ... bird watching, which is a favourite activity of mine at Msuna.


Not very long before we got there, a flash flood had come down the river after some serious rain in Zambia, and many of the camps and lodges upstream were damaged.  We took the boat up to Olive Beadle to take a look at the camp which was full of water.  It was amazing to see so much water !!  I remember not too many years ago when the river was just a trickle some distance away, and now here it was literally on the doorstep !!

Back at Msuna, there was quite a serious amount of fishing from the bank, which was where our champion fisherman caught most of the fish that we ate.


Lots of fun in the sun, eating and drinking and playing.
