Lilayi Elephant Nursery

I’m gonna preface this by saying I did not do the game drive, or see any of the animals, besides the babies in the nursery. I simply went to see the baby elephants. They are SO cute and if you love elephants I would recommend going to see them and spending the afternoon just watching them. That being said, if you have seen elephants before and are not totally “in love” with them, maybe see what else Lilaya has to offer. The part where you see the baby elephants is just a small enclosure that you climb up into a tree house like structure to watch them. They’re very cute, and I’m glad I saw it, but it was an excursion that was given to me for free, I’m not sure I would have gone there on my own otherwise. It’s a little bit of a drive outside of main Lusaka.

Chobe Park

We did three game drives through Northern Chobe; two morning drives and one afternoon drive. The park is so beautiful. We went in October, and even though it was dry season there was still plenty of life around the park, and water in the river. We saw elephants, kudu, antelope, monkeys, giraffe, zebras, hippos, a ton of birds, and even some lions. The guides we had from the lodge were very knowledgeable and friendly, and I felt they really respected the animals and their habitats.
