Extraordinary Afrika

Between the Sahara and the lush forests in the center of the continent, there is an intermediate band, made of open savannahs, thorny scrub, gallery forest and rocky outcrops. In this region, 6 months in the year, it does not fall a drop of water, and animals persist in seeking the latest ponds. The other half of the year, this desert area becomes a swamp and all animals are in a flooded landscape by torrential rains. But there is a real jewel in the heart of the Sahel: Zakouma National Park.
