Passage from the text...
In Cameroon...
The wild animal reserve of Waza is a massive one
hundred and seventy thousand hectares, according to the brochure! And it is at
night that we must cross it…
“Prohibited after nightfall,” the guards warn me at the entrance. No problem, I
mention the name of the guide I work for and I give them a bribe and they allow
me to pass.
Without tracker and map, this is madness.
I have to play it cool so as not to scare my clients too.
In the moonlight, between bush and sand, I penetrate this reserve for the first
time, expecting to meet lions, elephants, panthers, antelopes, cranes, lyre,
marabous and snakes.
