This is so exciting! I didn't realize that one of our own is currently in the place of my dreams! Oh - how I would love to be there now. I hope we will be seeing tons & tons of pictures once Katje returns home.
Katja's trip to Zambia
Hi Katje, nice to see you haven't forgotten us at home - enjoy the rest of your trip!!
Katja! Nice to see you girl, what is your best moment so far? 
Hello everyone,
I am still in Livingstone. Will stay here until Monday morning, and then I will return to the bush. Can't wait...
Hey katja !
It's good to hear from you.
I checked & you did write shoebill in your sms... I made the mistake by writing spoonbill here. Oops ! 
Hello everyone,
Right now I am in an internet cafe in Livingstone. The Zambezi River is right behind me.
2 August 2007 : Didn't see spoonbill in Bangweulu Swamps but birding was great there. Saw many new species.
Did I write spoonbill? I meant shoebill. Unfortunately, we didn't see one. They are hard to find.
Not sure if anyone is interested... but here is a link to some beautiful pictures of birds of South Africa

Driving to Lusaka now, tomorrow we go to Kafue National Park, the 2nd biggest park in Africa.
Lol, I once saw a stuffed one in a museum and thought they were extinct.
I look forward to more adventures and photos from the trip. I saw a Shoe-billed Stork on a tv documentary and thought it was sooo bizzare looking. It really looked pre-historic...like something from The Flinstones cartoons.
