Self drive from Zambia to part 2 in Zimbabwe July 2018

Finally, we have created a longer family version for us and my friends/family to watch. It also might be interesting for people wanting to visit the places to get an impression of what you will see and what kind of wildlife you might encounter.

Highlights;

Mock charge lioness in Chitake springs.
Chitake springs sounds in the night.
Large her of buffaloes drinking in the spring
Magical views over the Zambezi river in Manapools.

In this movie you will see the places we have stayed from the starting point South Luangwa part 1;
