Internship in Tanzania
July 2012
Ruaha National Park
After our research was done, we went to discover more of Tanzania. One week of constant safaris in Ruaha was amazing. We saw some spectacular species (e.g. leopard at 5 meters from our bus).
Udzungwa Mountains National Park
After a week of savannah it was time for the rain forest! It was a paradise for butterflies. We found the endemic monkey species Sanje mangabey and followed the group for a while.
