Day 5

     I got up especially early this morning so I could make it to South Luangwa National Park in time to see as much as possible after the bus ride there. I caught the earliest bus I could and arrived at the park very early, I paid the $25 fee and immediately went to the two cheetahs they are housing here. The main exhibits here are the cheetahs and several lions but they support many other rare animal and plant types that you can't see in very many other places around Zambia. The cheetahs had just woken up when I arrived and were out stretching and bathing in the morning sun waiting on their breakfast. Next I went and saw the lions, most of which were still sleeping. There was a pretty amazing elephant exhibit that I spent a lot of time taking photos of. I spent he majority of my day wandering about the park seeing the variety of animals. As the sun started setting I went to the pool to cool off before going to the Braii grill to eat a satisfying dinner of imported American steak for $9. Finally I went to my the on site lodge, Mfuwe Lodge for $230.
