!Welcome To Your Safari!
After days of exhausing flights, stopovers and car drives, you're finally here: the entrance of the national park. You've made it. But this is only the beginning, your real safari journey will start soon. An endless horizon of ''savannah'' surrounded by ''mountains'' and ''tropical rainforests'' awaits behind this small checkpoint. And who knows how many amazing animals are lying back there?
<span id="intro_1"><<click "[...]">><<replace "#intro_1">>"Thousands of different species", Robert tells you. "''Mammals'', ''birds'' and ''reptiles''. This park includes the best of east African safaris. It's also the biggest in the region." Your guide looks at you as excited as a child despite his mid-forties. "I've done it a thousand times, but even 20 years later I still feel like the first time."
"Also, feel free to ask me anything", he says, "although I'll probably tell you about it first because I talk a lot." It's true that he talks a lot, and sometimes in a very peculiar way. He definitely has encyclopedic knowledge about the animals but he's also very precise when he tells you about them.
<span id="intro_2"><<click "[...]">><<replace "#intro_2">>"If we're lucky we'll see some big game today! ''Lions'', ''elephants'', maybe even ''leopards''! But you know, when you go on a safari, you drive a lot through open spaces looking for the big game so fortunately to entertain yourself on the way you have the birds. I'm a birder myself and I'm sure we'll see many fascinating ones today!" He just finished his sentence when the ranger came back to the car to give him the signed permit to enter.
You drive through the portal into this wild area. But where should you go first?

Mongooses sighted and recorded by a camera-trap in 2011 and 2012 in the Central African Republic were preliminarily identified as Pousargues's mongoose.

"More about this animal", he tells. "Compared to other members of the Felinae, the wildcat is a small species, but is nonetheless larger than the housecat. The wildcat is similar in appearance to a striped tabby cat, but has relatively longer legs, a more robust build, and a greater cranial volume."
"I can also tell you this", suggests Robert. "The wildcat is a largely solitary animal, except during the breeding period. The size of its home range varies according to terrain, the availability of food, habitat quality, and the age structure of the population."
"I can say a bit more about it", he adds. "The wildcat's distribution is very broad, encompassing most of Africa, Europe, and southwest and central Asia into India, China, and Mongolia."<<addToInv "Wildcat">><<endif>>

"Funny thing is", he tells. "The leopard's skin colour varies by climate and habitat from pale yellow to yellowish brown or golden. Leopards living in forests are darker than those in arid habitats."
"I don't want to sound too scientific", narrates Robert. "Leopards are active mainly from dusk till dawn and rest for most of the day and for some hours at night in thickets, among rocks or over tree branches. Leopards have been observed walking 1–25 km across their range at night; they may even wander up to 75 km if disturbed."
"Furthermore", he remarks. "The leopard has the largest distribution of all wild cats, occurring widely in Africa as well as eastern and southern Asia, although populations have shown a declining trend, and are fragmented outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Within sub-Saharan Africa, the species is still numerous and even thriving in marginal habitats where other large cats have disappeared, although there is considerable potential for human-leopard conflict due to leopards preying on livestock."<<addToInv "Leopard">><<endif>>

"I'll tell you what I know", he says. "The black-capped weaver is 13 cm long and weighs 18–24 g."
"Also", explains Robert. "The black-capped social weaver is monogamous and breeds in colonies. It feeds primarily on grass seeds, but also takes juicy vegetation to get enough water, and insects, particularly to feed the nestlings. Favoured nesting trees include Acacia-species, Delonix and Euphorbia, and the roofed nests that are constructed by both male and female, are attached from thin, hanging branches, and are made of many straight grass straws."
"I can tell you a bit more", he says. "Pseudonigrita cabanisi occurs in central and southern Ethiopia, much of Kenya, a patch of Somalia towards the tripoint with Ethiopia and Kenya, and in northern Tanzania.

"In East Africa, cheetahs primarily live on scrub forests, grasslands, savannahs, open fields, steppes and arid environments where preys are available, in which are suitable to be the cheetahs' main hunting grounds.

The eastern chimpanzee is both arboreal and terrestrial and spend its nights in the trees, while most of its daytime hours are spent on the ground. Chimpanzees walk using the soles of their feet and their knuckles, and they can walk upright for short distances."

"You must also know", narrates Robert. "The serval is active in the day as well as at night; activity might peak in early morning, around twilight and at midnight. Servals might be active for a longer time on cool or rainy days."
"In case you didn't know", he affirms. "In North Africa, the serval is known only from Morocco and has been reintroduced in Tunisia, but is feared to be extinct in Algeria.

"More about this animal", he continues. "The white rhinoceros is the largest of the five living species of rhinoceros."
"I'm trying to be exhaustive", suggests Robert. "White rhinoceroses are found in grassland and savannah habitat. Herbivore grazers that eat grass, preferring the shortest grains, the white rhinoceros is one of the largest pure grazers."
"I can also tell you this", he adds. "The southern white rhino lives in Southern Africa."<<addToInv "White rhinoceros">><<endif>>

But every journey, even the most ''beautiful'' one, has to come to an end. Your car passes through the checkpoint, behind you the red sun is almost gone. You're leaving the park with unforgettable memories in your mind and one hope: to ''come back'' as soon as possible.
''And the animals?'' Well, they won't be waiting for you. But, as long as their ''environment'' is protected, they will be here and you can always come by and say hi.
