Before the mighty Zambezi River reaches the thundering splendour of the Victoria Falls, it passes the stylish and luxurious Matetsi Game Lodges - Water Lodge and Safari Camp. Matetsi is set on the same riverbanks about which the great explorer David Livingstone wrote so extensively. For unrivalled elegance and the exclusivity of 15km of private river frontage, Matetsi Game Lodges are an idyllic Zambezi retreat.
Flying Squirrel
We found a Tree Squirrel making a nest at the main guest area at West water, Matetsi. The Squirrel was busy lining the nest with leaves and she was going backwards and forwards between a small group of bushes and the nest , stripping leaves off the bushes and taking them to the nest. After depositing the leaves the squirrel would run down the wall of the main building , jump to a tree stump and then jump onto another wall and run along the top of this wall to the clump of bushes and return the same way again carrying leaves in her mouth, I waited for the right moment to get a picture of her jumping from the wall to the tree stump.
