After landing in Mfuwe we traveled overland to the
Kafunta River Lodge
in the South Luangwa Valley, part of the Great Rift Valley of Africa.
The lodge is situated on the bank of the Luangwa River, adjacent
to South Luangwa National Park,
home to a wide variety of mammals
and more than 450 species of birds. Accommodations are in "chalets"
on stilts overlooking the river. The grunts of the abundant
hippopotamus in the river can be heard day and night.
