!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?

"I want to keep it simple", he affirms. "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.

"Interesting fact", says Robert.

"Also", narrates Robert. "Like other galagos, Prince Demidoff's bushbaby is nocturnal and arboreal. During the day it sleeps in a nest made of dense vegetation or leaves some 5 to 40 m off the ground."
"Just so you know", he describes. "The species is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, possibly Kenya, and possibly Malawi.

The adult has brown upperparts with paler underparts with heavy brown blotches on the breast, belly, flanks and underwing coverts."
"Moreover", mentions Robert. "The mountain buzzard spends most of the day perched within the forest cover, but it can sometimes be seen soaring overhead. It is a territorial bird which is usually seen singly or in pairs."

"I may be too precise but", he affirms. "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."
"But there's more", adds 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."
"Funny thing is", he explains. "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>>
