!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?

"The black-capped social weaver is a sparrow-like of bird that has been assigned to the weaverbird family. It was originally described by Fisher and Reichenow, and moved later by the latter to the genus Pseudonigrita."
"I don't want to sound too scientific", he explains. "The black-capped weaver is 13 cm long and weighs 18–24 g. Adult birds have an extensive and well-delimited black cap that runs from the bill opening, across the crown to the back neck, and also covers the area around the eye and ear."
"I can tell you a bit more", informs 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 may be too precise but", he tells. "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. The black-capped social weaver prefers semi-arid savannas dominated by acacias and other thorny bushes. ."<<addToInv "Black-capped social weaver">><<endif>>

"You might not know", suggests Robert. "Chimpanzees live in communities that typically range from 20 to more than 150 members, but spend most of their time traveling in small parties of just a few individuals. 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."

The male has a lead grey crown, nape and neck, merging on to an olive brown mantles with the scapulars, wing coverts and tertials also olive brown, sometimes with a grey tinge."
"Furthermore", tells Robert. "The African firefinch mainly feeds on seeds which are supplemented with insects, it mostly forages on the ground, searching through the soil looking for food. It occurs in pairs or small family parties and may mix with other firefinches, staying close to cover and retreating quickly into the cover if alarmed. The male African firefinch builds the nest, which is a round structure with a side entrance, the outer shell consists of long, dry grass blades and there is an inner shell of soft grass inflorescences, this is sometimes lined with feathers."

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."

Yellow-edged feathers in the wings and tail are key identification pointers in all plumages of both the male and female."
"If you want to know more", tells Robert. "Golden-winged sunbirds consume the nectar from flowers of the mint Leonotis nepetifolia flowers as their main food source, but they also feed infrequently on other flower species:Aloe graminicola and Leonotis mollissima during the breeding season, and also Crotalaria species including C."
"Furthermore", he affirms. "The golden-winged sunbird is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, between altitudes of 1170 and 2300 m. It is found in forest verges and clearings, in cultivated areas, bamboo forest and tall grassland."<<addToInv "Golden-winged sunbird">><<endif>>

"More about this animal", he affirms. "The cheetah is a medium-sized cat. An adult male cheetah's total size can measure from 168 to 200 cm and 162 to 213 cm for females."
"Peculiar species", continues Robert. "Male cheetahs are sociable and may live in a group with other males. Males establish their territories by marking their territories by urinating on trees or termite mounds."
"This might sound too precise", he continues. "The Southeast African cheetah usually lives on grasslands, savannahs, scrub forests, and arid environments such as deserts and semidesert steppes.

Adults have an ash brown, grayish body, crested head with a turquoise nape, and a black-and-red bill, whereas juveniles lack the blue on nape, and have pink facial skin and greenish bills. Characteristic of mousebirds, the blue-naped mousebird has widely spaced and large feet for its body size, which are pamprodactylous; they are able to rotate all four toes to face forward at will."
"Peculiar species", he suggests. "In the wild, these birds live in the semi-desert and dry regions of eastern Africa They are found in a band between 10°N and 20°N from the western coast to Sudan, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia in the East and south 10°N through East Africa and on to the Eastern Zaire borders.
