Monitor Lizard
Senegambia Hotel
This is one of several
Monitor Lizards that lived in the undergrowth and could be seen each afternoon as they
came out to catch the afternoon sun. On occasion they would cross their island,
cross the moat and wander around the gardens.

Both species of Monkeys were
seen in the hotel grounds, Abuko Reserve, Bilijo Forest and Tanji. As soon as there
was any indication that food might be around, then they would pay close attention.

Several of these creatures
were present at Abuko Reserve. Initially only their eyes and nose could be seen but
one or two did leave the water for a short while.

Bushbuck
Abuko Reserve - 19th and 23rd Jan 2003
Photos - JER
Good views could be had of
this species from the hides at Abuko. The bottom picture shows just how well
camoflaged they can be in dappled shade. The day before we visited Abuko a Bushbuck
was caught by a large Python. Although it was freed by the wardens, it later died
from it's injuries.

Very large termite were
common in many areas, although very few live termites were seen.
