Day 45 – No hippos, but lots of elephants!

Liwonde, Hippo View Lodge

Ah, the comfort of  a quiet, air conditioned room! We had an excellent night’s sleep for a change, and we had no commitments for the day, so we had a nice sleep in as well!

 A quiet morning by the pool at Hippo View, then after lunch we had a short visit to the Liwonde National Park for a game drive. We saw the usual antelopes, warthogs and monkeys, and plenty of elephants on the flood plain, the highlights being a procession of about 20 or so with very young babies, and witnessing a fight between a couple of male elephants.
