!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?

"But there's more", he informs. "In North Africa, the serval is known only from Morocco and has been reintroduced in Tunisia, but is feared to be extinct in Algeria.

"What I can also say", he informs. "Adult chimpanzees in the wild weigh between 40 and 65 kilograms. Males can measure up to 160 centimetres and females up to 130 centimetres in height."
"If you want to know more", adds 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."
"I'm trying to be exhaustive", he describes. "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.

"Fascinating thing", he mentions. "The common dwarf mongoose is a typical mongoose: it has a large pointed head, small ears, a long tail, short limbs and long claws."
"I know some more", explains Robert. "The common dwarf mongoose is a diurnal animal. It is a highly social species that lives in extended family groups of two to thirty animals."
"Interesting fact", he describes. "The common dwarf mongoose is primarily found in dry grassland, open forests, and bush land, up to 2,000 m in altitude. It is especially common in areas with many termite mounds, their favorite sleeping place."<<addToInv "Common dwarf mongoose">><<endif>>

"You must also know", informs 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."
"I can also tell you this", he says. "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."<<addToInv "Leopard">><<endif>>

"What I can also say", he affirms. "The bronze mannikin is one of the smallest munia species, measuring 9–10 cm in length and weighing 7–12 grams. The adult is a compact bird with a short black tail, and stubby black and pale grey mandibles."
"In case you didn't know", remarks Robert. "The bronze mannikin is a tiny gregarious bird which feeds mainly on seeds, including wild grass seeds, millet, rice and grain. Alternatively termites, nectar or strands of algae may also be eaten."
"I may be too precise but", he adds. "They frequent areas near water, including mesic savanna, thornveld, edges of Afromontane or lowland forests, second-growth, marshes and swamp edges, existing and abandoned cultivation, or in parks, gardens and orchards.

Three living and one extinct species are recognized, though for many years all were lumped as a single species—Upupa epops.."
"Interesting fact", narrates Robert. "In what was long thought to be a defensive posture, hoopoes sunbathe by spreading out their wings and tail low against the ground and tilting their head up; they often fold their wings and preen halfway through. They also enjoy taking dust and sand baths."
"I know some more", he informs. "Hoopoes are widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Most European and north Asian birds migrate to the tropics in winter."<<addToInv "Hoopoe">><<endif>>

"In case you didn't know", explains Robert. "The common dwarf mongoose is a diurnal animal. It is a highly social species that lives in extended family groups of two to thirty animals."
"I'm trying to be exhaustive", he continues. "The common dwarf mongoose is primarily found in dry grassland, open forests, and bush land, up to 2,000 m in altitude."<<addToInv "Common dwarf mongoose">><<endif>>

"I'll tell you what you need to know", he declares. "It is 14 cm long, similar in size to the house bunting and smaller than the similarly plumaged rock bunting."
"I can tell you a bit more", adds Robert. "The breeding range of the bird in India has been noted in recent times to include more southerly locations such as near Saswad near Pune."
"Additionnaly", he adds. "It is a resident breeder of dry country from the Canary Islands, east through south-west Asia to north-western India.

"Interesting fact", affirms Robert. "Like other woodpeckers, this species is an insectivore, and forages on trees and on the ground for moths, centipedes, larvae and pupae."
"Also", he says. "The eastern grey woodpecker is a native of tropical eastern Africa, its range including Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan and Tanzania. Its habitat is humid forests, forest verges and gallery forests."<<addToInv "Eastern grey woodpecker">><<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.
