Mammal species seen
No proper record was kept, and nothing particularly noteworthy was seen - for an African living in Africa. The few notable records being:
Guereza Colobus Colobus guereza
very common in Nyungwe with troops up to 300 strong
Grey-cheeked Mangabey Lophocebus albigena
L'Hoest's Monkey Cercopithecus l'hoesti
Blue Monkey Cercopithecus mitis
Red-tailed Monkey Cercopithecus ascanius
Red-legged Sun Squirrel Heliosciurus rufobrachium
Blue Duiker ephalophus monticola
Peter's Duiker Cephalophus callipygus
Ruhija
Yellow-backed Duiker Cephalophus silvicultor
Ruhija
I also found a 50 cm green tree-viper in the Busingiro campsite - which caused some excitement with the overland truck there.
