      I don’t really know anything about it! I was only there for a few days for a conference, at the end of which we took motorcycles to this little village where they take you out on a canoe to look for the two hippos that live in the lake. But the park (Pendjaré?) in the north is supposed to be good for safari (in West Africa). And it looked beautiful from the bus we took north. Had some amazingly good fufu.
