The daily drama of Africa’s wildlife is on open display when Lesley Pritt heads out into the wilds of Botswana.

When Lesley Pritt books herself a safari in Zambia she expects to have to head off on game drives for the wildlife experience. But the animals here prefer to visit.

In five years of safaris Lesley Pritt has never had much luck spotting leopard. This changes dramatically in Zambia when she sights eleven in just a few days.

Take Africa slowly is Lesley Pritt’s advice. Instead of heading out on a game drive she spends an afternoon in Zambia sitting around at camp and watches the drama of the bush play out in front of her. And the lead actor, surprisingly, is a lechwe called Dave.
