Animals in the park

As I mentioned before, the chance to see animals isn’t that big during the rain season. They are less concentrated and the vegetation makes it hard to spot them. Also we couldn’t go everywhere with the car, we just had a small 4x4. We did see:

Some sort of yellow bird

Monkeys (they are somewhere in the tree)

A species of Antilopes

A Bunny!!!

Souley was there to protect us if a lion would come. It made me feel really safe.

It was difficult to take good pictures on the monkeys and antilopes as they saw us as well and disappeared quite fast.

It is obligatory to have a guide with you. And if you wanna visit by foot you have to take an armed guide. Our guide was Issofou. He really tried his best for us to see animals. And eventhough we didn’t really see anything that interesting, I’ll ask to have him as a guide next time, he knew stuff well. And he found the case to my camera, which slipped out when I took the photo of the bunny. He saw it on the road in the darkness going back. I didn’t even have time to miss it.

Animals that you can see if you’re lucky are for example: lions, elephants, buffalos, hyenas, geopards…
