It is easy to find the transportation from Lusaka to the provincial town of Chipata in the eastern part of Zambia.
Bus ticket will cost you 65000 kwacha. Once in Chipata you will try to find small bus or matola to the village of Mwfue – closest to the main gate of South Luangwa National Park.
Yes there was a minibus – but I was waiting 3 hours in the heat until it was full. They charged hefty 30000 for the ride and it took us 5.5 hours on the bumpy, muddy road…
It was dark when we arrive to Mwfue. The Flatdogs camp where I decided to stay overnight is located only 2 km from the village. They wanted too much for a car ride. I decided to put my backpack on and to walk…
Local people stoped me: there are wild animals on the road – you cannot walk in the darkness! Hard to believe! I got a free car ride: yes, I saw the elephants on this 2-km road and they were not happy to get off the road….
