Wildlife
viewing at Mombo was exceptional, great diversity and lots
of it. Plus, they were generally habituated to the Land Rovers
and would allow us to get quite close without seeming to notice
or care. The only downside was that both night drives and
walks were prohibited, limiting our activities to drives during
the day.

rolling in the mud. When the mud dries and is rubbed off,
it helps get rid of ticks. |
We

Spotted
hyena - in Mombo, there are so many predators that they live
off the scraps rather than hunting themselves |

teeth and jaws. |
