South Luangwa Bound!

Why Zambia, you ask? South Luangwa National Park, not to mention that Zambia is the home of the walking safari and some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Who wouldn’t want to track a lion on foot knowing that the guide is keeping you at a safe distance? And what about seeing the belly print of a crocodile (so much better than seeing the croc up close and all too personal?!). 

Take a look at this link for a preview of our where we’ll be starting our bush trekking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Luangwa_National_Park

We’re sighting species already!

Open Heart Safari had an unofficial start at Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma. The environmental education center was the perfect place to attune our eyes to the subtle browns and greens of the African landscape and discern the movement of turkeys, deer, coyote and rabbits. Stay tuned for postings with more exotics when we have our official start on July 17!
