Sub-saharan Africa: sand, heat...rivers and monkeys?



Returning from our volunteer visit experience in Kedougou we saw baboons, monkeys, a warthog and, surprisingly, rivers! Temperatures in southeastern Senegal are hot (130 degrees F. day after day in May!) so the proximity of our village to rivers and forests is reassuring.

  1. Since you are going to be living in the Kedougou area, I hope you will get a chance to meet the Bedik people that live on the tops of the "mountains". I definitely recommend visiting those villages.

  2. Ok, so when I saw the warthog picture, all I could think of was, "Hakuna Matata...." (Really insightful, I know.)
