South Luangwa National Park in Zambia is named by most experienced safari-goers as the best game park in Africa. It’s also where the walking safari was pioneered, giving visitors a chance to get to know the bush at a far more intimate level than on the back of a jeep. It’s essential when walking in the bush to have a handy & comfortable supply of water, hence the design of this water bottle carrier, with a basketweave design inspired by traditional Zambian fish traps. The four I cord straps mean you can carry it over one shoulder or both, and adjust the length for comfort. The top uses a seamless method to split for the I cords & eyelet closure.

Many thanks to my wonderful test knitters!
