Image 1 – this is a picture of me at the same monkey sanctuary but deeper in the forest. We met more monkeys along the way. At this tree there were so many monkeys that came up to run to us it was crazy. Deeper in the forest as well, we visited the cemetary where the deceased monkeys rested.

 

Image 2 -at another location in the northern region, we visited the mole national park. There we were able to see the male elephants. During this time of the year its actually really hard to see them. We were very lucky because we arrived the same time they arrived at the spot and we were able to see them walk and also get into the water hole.
