Well this is it. Hard to believe that this is the last full day we will spend in Malawi. We're back in Mabuya Camp having finished our Safari yesterday and we all can't wait to start the journey back (despite the fact that we're going to have to spend 10 hours in Nairobi between flights).

But how did the Safari go? It was great. On the first day we went out in the morning in two jeeps, one was meant to follow the other but that didn't really happen. Initially we saw the more common animals like the various species of Antelope as well as some Hippos and Elephants. However we weren't out for long when we got a call over the radio to say that one of the other groups who were there had found a Leopard. Our jeep sped off with us calling to the other one to follow us as they didn't know what was going on. Wen we got there we couldn't initially see the Leopard but once we got closer we found it in a depression in the ground. We think it had been trying to hunt something but the six or so jeeps surrounding it kind of spoiled that. We followed it for as long as we could until it stalked off into a thicket that we couldn't drive through. We returned to the camp and got ready for our later drive.

We went out again later on in the day as it was getting dark because it meant different animals would be coming out. Once again we were treated to the same sights initially but things picked up when we started to see a few new thing like Gennets (small cats). We were in for a treat again as we spotted a couple of Lion cubs hiding in a bush. Unfortunately we couldn't really see them properly from where we were and we couldn't get any closer. However that wasn't the end of our Lion spoting. We found two female Lions and a cub sitting out in the open waiting for it to get dark. Quite a lot of time was spent watching them but it was well worth it for the photos. After it had gotten properly dark and we were using a spot-light to look for things we were greeted by another surprise. Two male Lions emerged from a hiding place and we spent a while following them and getting more great pictures. It wasn't too much later that we had to return to our camp but it had been a great night.

The next morning was similar to the previous one with us setting off in our jeeps and initially seeing a lot of Hippos and other things. Unfortunate we didn't see anythigng spectacular in the morning (however we did spend a while looking fr a Leopard that we though was somewhere close) though we still enjoyed ourselves.

The night run was just as enjoyable as the mroning one had been with los of animals but nothing particualrily rare. However one group did get a surprise when they has stopped to look at a Hyena and an Elephant suddenly walked out of a bush right beside them, they were pretty sure that it was going to do something about them but it didn't do anything more than complain a little.

After two short days of Safari in Zambia we're back in Lilongwe and are currently just waiting to go out for our last meal. There'll still be another post from us when we get back with all the photos and probably a couple of videos as well. Until then wish us luck with our numerous flights.
