!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?

"Also", he affirms. "The chimpanzee spends time both in trees and on the ground, but usually sleeps in a tree, where it builds a nest for the night. They once inhabited most of this region, but their habitat has been dramatically reduced in recent years.."<<addToInv "Eastern chimpanzee">><<endif>>

"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."

"Fascinating thing", describes Robert.

"You must also know", he mentions. "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.

"I don't want to sound too scientific", mentions Robert. "Male cheetahs are sociable and often live in a group of other males called coalitions. In the Serengeti, it was found that 41% of the adult males were solitary, 40% lived in pairs and 19% lived in trios."
"It's good to know also", he continues. "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 scarlet-tufted sunbird is a species of bird in the Nectarinia genus of the Nectariniidae family."
"I'm trying to be exhaustive", he describes. "The scarlet-tufted sunbird is a large sunbird. Adult males have long tails, up to about 20 centimetres in length, and scarlet pectoral tufts up to about 10 millimetres wide."
"Furthermore", he mentions. "The scarlet-tufted sunbird is found at very high altitudes in the Afroalpine Rwenzori-Virunga montane moorlands and East African montane moorlands, though also found at lower altitudes. Its normal range is on several disjunct areas of montane forest and moorland between 3,000 and 4,500 m in altitude, which encompasses a number of zones of vegetation."<<addToInv "Scarlet-tufted sunbird">><<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.
