- Beginning of the journey near Chiawa Camp: Sophie and Grant Cummings, the manager of Chiawa Camp take a canoe trip on the Zambezi River and they see elephants and hippopotamus: on the morning Sophie sees an elephant very near of the lodge (the elephant was looking for fruits).The Zambezi River is very important for the farmers and the fishermen: in a village we see how the farmers grow tomatoes.In the lake Kariba the fishermen fish the "kapenta" (Tanganyika sardine) by night and on the morning they bring the fishes at the shores where traders buy the fishes.Then Sophie is in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia: she meets Patrick Chifwambwa, her guide who speaks French because he has lived in Abidjan for some years: she cross a market and then visit the Chikumbuso project founded by Julien and Linda Wilkinson: support to women and children victims of aids (sida); there is a school for the children and a workshop for women where they learn to make bags and get an income.Then Sophie pays a visit to the Choice FM radio station, The animator, Kaliwa Lubasi presents her to the audience, Zambia is living a new time, the victory of the Patriotic Front, many hopes for the youth.Kaliwa speaks about all the themes: rock, politic, health or the hopes of the youth to find a job.Later Patrick and Sophie drink a Mosi Lager , a typical Zambian beer in a bar and they enjoy Zambian music in a discotheque: music is everywhere in Zambia, in the traditional ceremonies , in the weddings or on the radios.Then they travel to Simonga, to meet the Princess Elizabeth Enonge, who is village chief: she was living in Lusaka and the old men of the village called her and and told her that she was the new village chief; ad so she began her duty walking through the village and speaking with villagers about their problems.Then Sophie and Patrick walk through the village and meet Bevin Muwaya, the chief village deputy who explains that sometimes the elephants want to enter into the village and so the villagers make music with drums and put hot pepper on the canvas which protect their food.In a village they women are preparing the "nshima" , food prepared from pounded white maize (also called ugali in Tanzania) and other women and girls are dancing.Then Sophie takes a touristic train to Livingstone: she see of the preparation of the ceremony of the Indepndence Day and goes to the Victoria falls.Some others tourists make rafting on the Zambezi River and other make bungee jumps from the bridge between Zambia and Zimbabwe. I forgot the zoom on the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National park: where the tourist can see buffaloes, zebras, impala: recently the white rhinoceros has been reintroduced : the park rangers must protect them against the poachers and the zoom about the Maala ceremonies with traditional music and a huge parade of the cattle through the village.—zutterjp48
