Common Warthogs and the stately Eland roamed the rolling savannahs and we found three Black Rhinos resting under an isolated acacia and three Cheetahs similarly indulged in the high grass.

Other favorite species included the Gerenuk (a long-necked antelope), Black Rhino (at least two females, each with a young), the stunning Black-and-white Colobus Monkey, Beisa Oryx (a very large, strikingly patterned antelope), and three different races of Giraffe.

I carried "The Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania" (by Zimmerman, Turner and Pearson) with me at all times, and I consider it one of the best-ever bird books, even though some people I met told me the new guide on East African birds (published in 2001) is supposed to be even better.
During the boat ride, I saw Black Crake, African Marsh Harrier, the promised Hemprich's Hornbill, no skimmer (of course), no white-faced scops-owl (but instead another spotted eagle-owl that Peter's contact person had misidentified…).
Needless to say that I was a little ill-humored by the end of the boat trip, realizing that - all in all - I had paid this guy my last 100 Euros, leaving me almost stranded, and he didn't even present half of what he'd promised.

 Birdwatching Trip Report for the Gambia

Number four was a gorgeous blue breasted kingfisher, perched for a long time on a branch just in front of the photo hide, which it shared with a darter, about a foot away.
Before we regained the main path we got a glimpse of double spurred francolin in the undergrowth, and shortly afterwards snowy crowned robin chat (which had so far eluded us at the Senegambia, though we had been assured there was one in amongst all the (larger) white crowneds in the garden).
