Part II
Exploring Kidepo Valley National Park is like exploring an ancient isolated paradise, hidden and protected by mountain ranges. It is an original savannah with patches of swampland, mountains, valleys, stands of borassus palms and sausage trees. The place is dominated by the remnants of the Katurum lodge, towering over the valley. It had been planned and built during the Idi Amin regime, but got abandoned because of political instability. Right now, it is getting renovated, because an investor is planning to turn the bunker-like structure into a four-star luxury accommodation including a spa and a night club.

Nsumbu National Park

Im äußersten Nordosten Sambias erstreckt sich vom Ufer des Tanganjika-Sees bis tief ins Hinterland der traumhafte Nsumbu (oder Sumbu) Nationalpark. Mit gut 2000 Quadratkilometern gehört Nsumbu zu den Parks mittlerer Größe in Sambia. In den 70er Jahren wurde er neben Kafue und South Luangwa zu den besten des Landes und von ganz Südafrika gezählt – lange Zeit gehegt und gefördert vom ersten Präsidenten Kenneth Kaunda, der die Geschicke Sambias von 1964 bis 1991 leitete.

Ndole Bay Lodge

In an extremely remote corner at the northeastern end of Zambia, travellers with either an iron butt, tons of patience, excellent driving skills or pockets full of cash can reach as far as paradise, which comes just around the next corner of a dilapidated track, miraculously named “a road” by some confused people. It is Ndole Bay Lodge right on the stunningly beautiful shore of Lake Tanganyika only few kilometers south of the border to DR Congo and opposite to Tanzania.

Along Madagascar´s eastcoast are the remainders of rainforests that used to cover the whole east flank of the island´s central highlands. The humid clouds coming from the Indian Ocean supply the steep slopes with huge amounts of rain along with devastating Cyclones, which are regularily making a havoc of parts of the island in the time between December and March. That´s what happened just early this year. Villages and fields have been destroyed, boats wrecked and roads have become impassable.
