This morning we had a five hour hike through the forest. We did not see any chimpanzees but were fortunate to see the yellow baboon, the red colobus, the red tail monkey, a few antelope, many birds like the fish eagle, palm-nut vulture, kingfishers  etc. All though this is the dry period of the year,  the vegetation is still beautiful.

Tonight we had dinner with a young couple, Hannah and Zak, who runs the Flycatcher Adventure business and we were treated to a nice piece of steak. This was a welcome change to a standard backpacker's dinner.

We are leaving early tomorrow morning. In the park area you pay 80 USD per person per day for every 24 hour cycle. We entered the park area before 10h00 on 8/2/2008. There is still about 10 km tomorrow before before we leave the park.

The focus is now  on Kigoma and we should arrive there on Friday. We  will meet up with Brent Wibberley from Sand Dolar Kayaking Safaris who will accompany us  up to Bujumbura in Burundi. You can read about him on  our  web site MADventure, under crew.
