Parc Regional Du W
What this excelent park lacks in animal numbers, it compensates with its wildlife diversity. Antelopes, buffalos, elephants, hippos, lions, crocodiles, hyenas, warthogs and over 300 species of migratory bird call this dry savanna woodland home. The 9120-sq-km park rests on the Niger River's banks, straddling Niger, Benin and Burkina Faso.
so although it wasn't really the season to go to parc w, we went for the weekend and camped out there and rode around the park for 2 days on top of four runners. unfortunately, i didn't get any pictures. i saved the film camera i brought for this trip, and i thought i had everything planned out. But the batteries it uses are CR2, which are the most awkwardly sized batteries ever. i brought batteries that were slightly larger but very useless.
i've never been so dirty in my whole life. the boys were turbinators for the weekend, and all the girls covered their noses and mouths because it was so dusty. we saw loads of antelopes, some baboons, lots of guinea fowl, and birds. so not really the most exciting animal wise (no elephants, lions, the like), but a cool chill weekend nontheless.
