A kind of rumorous week. A lot of chaos. It started with seeing a hyena. Running over the road and speeding further near my observation platform. Probably cathing up the group. Awsome to see one.
Also more work had to be done; like seperating grass samples. One advantage was, time was flying. On the other hand it’s very boring work. We did this the whole week in the noon.
Fortunately there was a spectaculair night drive……and oh 🙂 what have I seen; so many antilopes, duikers, bucks, galagos and squirrels. Still waiting for the lion 🙁 next time 🙂 It’s always vey exciting, because you’ll never know what you’ll see. Surprising.
The raining season is approaching. Several times there were a lot of showers. So it’s true, that the raining season started earlier this year. and for me it’s also nice; I was able to separate grasses in a less hot climate, Tuesday.
Wednesday I walked on the river-bed of the Mao Mbam. That’s necessary to put the results of it in a map. The hiking tour itself was not heavy, but indeed was in the rain.Lot of gallery forest, so a great chance to spot animals. I saw colobes from near, some duikers, an eagle and a grand galago. I think because of the rain, all animals moved to other places in the park. They don’t depend on the river any longer…..ashame 🙁 but, there’s rain now and less heat!
Because of the rain, the landscape is already changing: more green, other colour of the fur of animals, rivers filled with water and it will be definitely very different in May.
Friday we left Benoué, in May we’ll return. I’m curious how Benoué will look like then. 🙂
