The lodge has been a great place to stay, despite the power outages. The food, in particular, is excellent: we have nsima (a staple in Malawi), which is essentially thick pancakes and is served with a variety of meats and vegetables. Some mornings, we have treats like French toast and strawberries!
We leave Thursday for our 2-day holiday at the Majete Wildlife Reserve. It’s a 3.5 hour car trip to the Thiwale Resort, where we’ll be staying in impressive outdoor tents (essentially glamping, minus the electricity). Send positive vibes—we’re hoping to see an elephant or two while we’re there.
We’ll return to Zomba Friday afternoon and will resume static clinics on Saturday and Sunday. It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through our trip!—Jessie Foley
