Nsobe Game Camp

The management team of the mine recently spent 3 days away at the Nsobe Game Camp, the plan was to develop the strategic plan for the operation and also do a bit of "bonding". The last few pictures show the management team as a whole on the last evening, also a photo of Brenda the Sustainability manager and one of Colin the Security Manager (aka Chief of Thugery) and Nathan the Corporate Relations Manager.

This was the first time I have had the new camera out and i must say the results are not too bad, mind you it was all done on the auto setting as i have only gotten through the first chapter of the instruction manual (i seriously dislike reading insruction manuals).

Anyway as you can see from the photo's Nsobe is a lovely place with some great scenery and also some of what I call really truely African animals. So my first real African animal sighting was the Girafe, such majestic animals and the baby (which was about 2 meters tall) was just the cutest little thing.

Nsobe is about an hour south of Ndola along the road heading to Lusaka. The accommodation is quite rustic, the cabin i was in was a simple A frame design with a thatched roof, some walls and chicken wire in the other places to keep the monkeys out! No air conditioning or fans but it was not really needed at this time of year as it is getting quite cold at night time. Sleeping under a mosquito net with a tonne of blankets on you to keep warm is just such a different experience but great at the same time.
