My time in Ghana is a lot of school work, but also a lot of fun stuff. My favourite of these fun things was just this week. When after an afternoon of "Safaris" (in which we had some bad luck and saw just an elephant and some antelope) a few of us from our group headed out to spend the night in the woods.
"We need to leave at 5" our guide told us "if you leave anytime later than 5:30 or 6 it gets dark when you're hiking, and then it's too dangerous to be out."
We agreed. And eventually set off. At 6:20 - which means our hike to the camp was a very brisk walk through the woods, while watching the sunset. We made it in "record time". It was fantastic.
Our camp was a treefort, hovering above the forest. And from our perch we could hear all the animals throughout the night. My favourite was waking up and recognizing there was a hyena hanging out right near our fort, and many more calling to it in the distance.
