We tried to take a scenic route to Nyamepi but could not cross the Sapi River - sand to deep and soft. Had to recover vehicles and deflate tyres and eventually did a u turn and went the main route so only got to camp at about 5pm. Our 1 hr trip turned into 7 hrs !!
Nyamepi camp is very big with quite a lot of people which we are not used to after having all previous camps to ourselves. We do have drinkable tap water, flushing toilets and a hot shower.
Sun sets over the Zambezi are beautiful and temperatures perfect reaching 31 at 4pm.
Hyenas and monkeys are a problem in camp. We must have had about 10 hyena scavenging around us whilst having supper last night..an odd pebble tossed in their direction and large bonfire kept them at bay.
Have seen quite a lot of game but because there is still water inland the animals have not arrived in large herds as yet.
The park has spectacular trees and lovely scenery especially along the river edge.
We have driven to Vundu Point which is very pretty with huge pods of hippo. The river is very wide here and you can see Zambia across the other side..quite a few lodges and moored boats .
