Of all the areas of Zambia, Luapula Province was where I most often ventured to sample what life was like away from the industrialized Copperbelt area where I lived and worked.
In addition to the excitement of crossing through the Congo to get there, Luapula offered me a 'private' Game Park, a fisheries patrol on Lake Mweru checking for poachers from the Congo, beautiful waterfalls, sandy beaches and very friendly people. And, how can I forget, Samfya on the shores of Lake Bangweulu also marks the first road trip that my wife and I ever took together!
All in all, it is an amazing part of Zambia that, to this day, is largely undiscoverd by tourists. If you want to really get away from it all, it is still not too late!

These 'how it was' pages are always enjoyable, Glenn. The trip on the fisheries patrol boat had me thinking of the 'African Queen'! What a pity the Lusenga NP has been cleaned out since. | kokoryko Tue Oct 28, 2008 23:23 UTC
I was again immersed in Africa, the one I discovered beginning 80’s. Thanks Glenn, for awaking memories with this beautiful tour in a place I do not know but, who knows? May be one day? Merci encore. | Gili_S Mon Oct 27, 2008 17:21 UTC
What a fantastic & interesting country, I might consider also visiting Zambia in one of my next African adventures. |
