Zambia, june/july 2010
Dutch version

This webpagina show my travel to Zambia. The first part is to the Liuwa Plain National Park in the south-western area of Zambia. The second part of the trip is to Livingstone and the Victoria Falls. The trip is organised by the World Wildlife Fund, the Netherlands, and is not intended as a "standard" touristic trip. The aim is to learn the way African Parks Network (APN) manages their parks and what all is involved with this. We will observe this from very near-by how the people of the Liuwa plain national park work. A report including pictures will be put on-line after I have returned.
