Our first view of Mauritania's enormous Diawling National Park, just after crossing the Diama Barrage

A large flock of pink Lesser Flamingos and a strange "cloud formation" in the distance

Always prepared for any eventuality .. Roeland studying the Flamingos through high powered binoculars.

This view gives a good impression of the surface of the raised road that we followed for many kilometres

A family of Wart Hogs crossed the road too quickly to get a photo of .. this large Monitor Lizard nearly escaped as well .. running so quickly it was kicking up a dust cloud behind it !!
