Photos (top to bottom): photo1: one of three leopards orphaned when their mother was killed by a toubab hunter, which led to much tighter regulations on visitor access, and a shoot-to-kill order by park security for those caught poaching; photos 2&3: monkeys hanging out at the Hotel Simenti; photo4: cover shot of Almamy for Glamor Magazine; photos 5&6, 9: on the boat tour, a must (not just a cheesy tourist thing; it's a way to get good access and game viewing); photo7: baboons in the top of a palm; photo8: the boat passes a group of three hippos, including a new born.

For video, see clip1.
