Schwer erreichbar in der Sumpflandschaft Senegals: eine Insel als Schlafplatz von Schwalbenschwanzaaren und Falken. Die Zahlenangaben gehen bis 37000! Die Reise geht per Boot, Auto und Einbaum und dauert recht lange. Aber wir haben alles ausgekundschaftet und wissen, dass man auf diese Art Ökotourismus vor Ort fördern kann.
Hidden and difficult to reach in the swamps of Senegal: a roosting place for Swallow-tailed Kites and falcons. The journey takes long: pirogue, car, dug-out canoe. We have set the trip up for guests and know that we are supporting the local efforts to create a new destination for nature-tourism.
