Day 5-6- Majete Game Park

Local Market
 

Wilbur!!!

After a 5 hour drive from Lilongwe to Blantyre its just a little bit further to the Majete Game Park. Along the way you can see local markets, sell the finest from Goodwill, in addition to fruits, vegetables, and local meats.





Get out of the road Abe!

When I heard we were staying in tents near a watering hole, I was a bit worried about how I would fare throughout the night! But the accommodations were excellent and only a few elephants walked through overnight.




In the park they had your fair amount of animals from the Lion King. We missed the new lion cubs, but did catch  some rhinos, hippos, elephants, hyenas, baboons, and a lot of antelope!

Elephant rear end right behind my head lol!

On the way home we stopped by some local art and carving shops, I spent a whole 8,000 (20 US) kwacha on goods lol, I feel like a baller here!

Day 7 is prep day for working in the Hospital and Clinics. So far the plan is
Fevers-Malaria: LA
Peeing blood-Schisto: Praziquantel
Pooping Worms: Albendazole
and all sorts of other antibiotics for the usual stuff! Forget about long term management of any medical problem like HTN or DM.
ask everyone HIV status and be on the look out for TB!
Its going to get interesting!!
