My farm is near Chiawa, I just love the place.

[@coadyg]

We visited Mana pools in August what a great place but we where also envious of the lodges on the Zambian side. Well done on a great video.

[@tonimactavish9937]

So fascinatingly beautiful. How lucky you are to have the opportunity to immerse yourself in this wonderful journey. Keep the videos coming, I so enjoy them .

[@NicoleEddy1]

We are incredibly lucky, and if we can be in our happy place while hoping to make a difference, then that is really the cherry on top!

[@peacejustice6355]

Loving your safari adventure. I just love the wild life. Animals are sacred, they belong to nature and not for men's pleasure in killing them. Nicole you are beautiful and Blair is sooo handsome. You both make the perfect couple. Wishing you both a beautiful future together always enjoying what you most love. Thank you sooo much for sharing and God Bless❣👍🙏

[@NicoleEddy1]

Absolutely! Chatting with community members such as Charles (in the previous vlog) was also so important for us to hear the other side of the story. Often 'poachers' in the rural communities are strapped for cash, have no food & are need to feed their families, so addressing the employment issues of the community will be a first priority for WildArk and Zambian Wildlife Warriors. The main video will be dropping very soon on WildArk's channel which explains everything in detail :) Thanks much for watching & for the love

[@TheIncubatorofPurpose]

Thank you for sharing about my country mother Zambia

Nice video, but music .... ? This from a Zambia Fan. 4th Visit later this year (20j

[@philmitchell9413]

When the father said he wants his daughter to see a leopard in 20 years time, that really hit home. Unfortunately I can't see the situation changing, if there is demand some one will go to the extreme to acquire it.

[@NicoleEddy1]

100%. The problem is that it's such a 'real reality' for lack of a better term! The fact that they haven't seen wildlife in what was once a haven for animals, is hugely disturbing, so time is definitely limited!

[@philmitchell9413]

@@NicoleEddy1 Are people in utter despair? Or are there measures being put in place to try and prevent the extinction of species. I feel even setting up a breeding program to try and save some species would help, as tragic as that would be. I'd like to think this doesn't happen but do you think corruption plays a part in what's happening?

[@NicoleEddy1]

@@philmitchell9413 Unfortunately in Africa, corruption is always a factor but with that being said, the Lower Zambezi NP has set up an incredibly successful anti-poaching unit and employment opportunities with the neighbouring Chiawa community, so Rufunsa is wanting to remodel that as it's proven to be successful. It would be relatively easy to reintroduce animal stock such as antelope, elephant, bush pig etc. into the area, but rather it's more a case of if animals are reintroduced into Rufunsa in the current state that it's in, they will be poached for bush meat due to the unemployment & desperate situation of the Rufunsa Community. The first problem before reintroducing any of these animals back into Rufunsa, is to educate the community on the importance of wildlife & tourism (which leads to employment) opportunities that having a healthy population of wildlife will bring in.

[@philmitchell9413]

@@NicoleEddy1 Educating the community seems like the most important issue. Like many people they lack foresight. Anyway, it was lovely talking with you. Lets pray it will change for the better.

It's from a site called Epidemic Sound - the link is in the description :)

*Hears a lion around* Nicole: that’s amazing Me: foh this vlog shit 🏊‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️

[@taongakumwenda8248]

All my goodness.. I live in zambia n have never been to zambezi... I don't kn how this sounds but that's the truth👆

[@ymxymx87]

[@hispid1]

That lion... Is distemper a thing there? It took out a heap of lions a decade or so ago.

[@NicoleEddy1]

It could well be, it was a thing in Kenya & Tanzania however I'm not entirely sure if it affected Zambia. Would it have that effect on the pupil?

[@hispid1]

@@NicoleEddy1 I did wonder. It usually manifests in "fits" but there has been some resistance building in the population. A milder case would severely weaken an adult to the point where secondary issues are apparent. Not sure about the eye thing

[@hispid1]

"distemper symptoms include high fever, eye inflammation and eye/nose discharge, laboured breathing and coughing, vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite and lethargy..."

[@NicoleEddy1]

@@hispid1 Ok wow, well it certainly could be. We thought that his coat was just a case of mange as you can see behind his ears when he turns to the side, but never in my life have I, or anyone else in that car, seen a lion's pupil's look like that. I'll try do some research & see if there have been cases recorded in the Lower Zambezi NP.

[@hispid1]

@@NicoleEddy1 If there's a vet there - they could sure check. Its not always easy to determine clinically, but a PCR (molecular test) could diagnose it. The vector pathway when it first appeared a decade or so ago, was from domestic dogs into Hyena which then interacted with lions.

Can I join in on your adventures? Serious question!
