We have been in Lusaka for some weeks as it is wet in the camp, and while we have been here, we have had several dramatic SMS messages from our staff who are care-taking the camp:

From our foreman, Stephen

(23rd Jan) “We are having 2 male lions in the camp, at Weaver house. They have stayed for two days…”

From Kenny Chipasu

(6th Feb) Today we have 6 lions, 4 females and 2 males all in dining… in the front annexe of the dining room. They played with the cushions. then lay on them outside the annexe…from 08.00 to 18.00 hr

(7th Feb) I just wanted to say we are surrounded by a pride of lions’…15 Lions, some near the dining room, some at the campsite, some near Anthill Chalet. The two big males were there for the whole day.
