Well, as luck would have it, Andrew is still around – the power was out in Mzuzu all day, so he couldn’t get to the bank for work, so he stayed one more night. And since my back is up for the drive, it’s off to Nyika we go!
Between the rough roads and multiple stops, it takes us most of the day to get ourselves up to the park, but boy, is the long drive ever worth it – Nyika is stunning and Andrew’s place is awesome!!!
He lives in a log cabin in the middle of a pine tree plantation and combined with the cooler temperatures – it’s 2300 m. above sea level – it feels more like being in northern Ontario than southern Africa.
Thanks to Andrew’s housekeeper Nellie, who’s been expecting us and has built a roaring fire in the living room, it doesn’t take the three of us long to settle in with a drink from his well-stocked bar.
