1.7. \u2013 4.7.2025<\/p>

After crossing the Malawi border, we cruised at a very slow pace towards our next overnight stop in the village of Ngala. We knew it would be a long and bumpy journey, but I guess none of us were prepared for how long the journey would end up taking. After 14,5h we arrived at Ngala Beach Lodge. As it was getting late, we had dinner at the on-site restaurant. Meanwhile, Gift and Casper pitched our tent. We were the only ones camping this time, as everyone else had decided to opt for room accommodation due to the earlier rain. We also considered this option for a while, but as the rain had stopped, we decided to continue camping.<\/p>

When we got into our tents to sleep, the heavy rain started and continued most of the night. We had been in our tents for maybe ten minutes when the kids announced that their tent was leaking. We had already taped up potential leak points with packing tape beforehand (no duct tape to be found), but still water poured in a trickle onto the floor of the children’s tent. We had spotted an empty canteen in the shower building earlier, so we went to set up two new dry tents there. The tents had to be erected there because there were cockroaches and mosquitos. Sleeping on mattresses alone, you could have quickly had more than one sleeping buddy in your sleeping bag. We did a quick transfer of mattresses and belongings to drier tents, and finally, at around eleven in the evening, we were able to go to bed. As the adult tent had not leaked at all by then, Marko decided to stay in the tent on the beach for the night. After all, he would be able to move to a dry tent if the adult tent started to leak like a sieve during the night. TIA – This is Africa – the children thought as they finally got into their sleeping bags.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
