The warm springs in Zambia are not like Iceland, yes they are hot and natural, but when you get out the air temp is 28 deg C not zero deg C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we stayed on the Kapishya hot springs campsite and had a little fire , a groundsman stayed around and cut us more wood, such service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Another<\/a>
another basic campsite in Africa with the bare minimum of facilities, it is difficult to cope but we are managing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The campsite sits on the river and is another lovely place but the main feature is the big house owned by the same family, the grandson of the original builder of Shiwa Ngandu House (Africa house).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campsite is owned by Mark Harvey and the house by Charles Harvey , marks brother and both are grand children to sir Gore Browne , they are both featured in the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are really nice people , we got drunk with Mark and listened to stories about his childhood at the house in times long gone now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Campsite is a haven of plants and agriculture, Mark is an unreal fountain of knowledge on all things planty and Zambia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
