Finally an actual blog post from Africa if this manages to upload!! We are near the end of half term now which is sad but we did get 2 weeks so I can’t really complain. Yesterday I got back from safari in South Luangwa with two other people from the school and it was amazing, they said I was incredibly lucky because I saw everything that was in the park to see from army ants (way cooler than it sounds) to lions, leopards, elephants, giraffe, zebra, snakes, hippo, crocodile, hyena and even some wild dogs which the guide said was the second most indangered animal in Africa (after the Ethiopian wolf). So I have narrowed the photos down from over 1500 between 3 people over 4 game drives and some of them are below.
Enjoy!!

Hi All, looks like the blog will be defeated by the access issues but we are managing to keep in touch with Amy via Whatsapp. Below are the latest pictures, one of the pool and another of the grounds. Amy is keeping busy, tomorrow she’s taking PE at the local primary school in the morning, swimming at lunchtime, a Sports Leaders session & then an after school sports club. This weekend they are all off to the south of the country for a sports gala hosted by another school.
