About one year back Thierry Aebischer and Ra ffael Hickisch started studying wildlife in the Chinko basin in eastern centralafrica. This is the area CAWA Safari (and myself) started exploring in 2006. It was then totally cut off from civilisation and we soon understood it hosted a unique wildlife. Theirry and Rafael has transected the northern and eastern part of the area and they have put up several cameratraps resulting in thousands of photos of the areas stunning wildlife!
Their photos and studys confirm what I've seen many times during my hunts; the area holds a huge population of leopards, unseen in any other savanna area in Africa! Other findings are more unexpected and it will be a pleasure to read the results from their study!
