The camp kitchen…big iron pots set over cooking fires. The food was delicious…Zebu kebabs!
We took a night walk before the thunder storm came. Saw many different nocturnal lemurs….very difficult to take pictures! This is a fat-tailed lemur trying his best to “be one” with the tree limb.
Another Sifaka..there are nine species in total. Unlike the Sifaka’s in the Tsingy, these have a black spot on top of their heads. None of the parks “connect”, so normally each animal is only find in that specific region.
The elusive Fosa, Madagascar’s largest predator. They are a “puma-like creature.” Looks like a species of cat…but is actually considered to be part of the fox family. We were lucky to be here during their mating season. We found this male napping next to one of the camp bungalows. While we watched he rolled over on his back and basically lazed about. Ludo said if we got too close he would attack.
A lemur for every tree! These guys descended upon the camp…dangerous with a fosa about. They were hoping for handouts.
All they got was a bucket of water…but this seemed to please them enough! They came down one at a time for a long drink.
The “mother” baobab….the largest around. This one has to be over a thousand years old.
The famous “baobabs in love”….they are either twins, or one tree that was cut while young.
We headed back to Chez Maggie for two nights of relaxation on the beach. This is our sweet little bungalow. Now back to Tana and South Africa…on our way to Victoria Falls!
