Stillwater Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Today we follow a 16-day-expedition a friend of mine has made in 2016. Driving from Douala, Cameroon, ... ... passing Lake Ossa... ... on the N3... ... to Yaounde. After changing to a 4WD they went on following the N10 eastwards... ... with a stop in Batouri. Days later they crossed the border to the Centra African Republic. One of the poorest countries in the world, with a high rate of analphabetics, ... ... but with cities like Nola, where Diamond traders and corruption control everything, from business to security. Lucky are those who can get on southwards to Dzangha Sangha NP. Even more lucky if you manage encounters in free wildlife. As there is no airport or bushstrip, we have to return directly, over Bayanga, ... ... whilst the real traveller had to get ready for driving after some days. The virtual pilot takes a shortcut over the clouds... ... meeting the N10 again near Ayos, Cameroon. Passing Yaounde, ... ... and, later the Mowasse wetlands, ... ... on the way to Tiko, near the Atlantic coast. I am happy that he has shared his fantastic travel report with me, but I am sure I will not make such a trip in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Beautiful pics that show the superior quality of an OpenLC over other LC products. Your friend must have been extremely lucky to see a gorilla in the wild! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Fantastic set Gerold made even better with the RL images. Sadly Nola is no different to so many places in the world. Some great info too, I had to scurry over to Google the meaning of analphabet which was a big surprise. Great to see the Gorilla too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenLC has done so many improvements, even mesh and Vestor data seem improved. Just great. 5 hours ago, Captain Lars said: Beautiful pics that show the superior quality of an OpenLC over other LC products. Your friend must have been extremely lucky to see a gorilla in the wild! Danke Lars. As said just above, this OLC has improved so much. My friend has suffered a really hard tour to get there, but he even said he would do it again. 5 hours ago, VH-KDK said: Fantastic set Gerold made even better with the RL images.

Thanks for your commen, Martyn. And sorry for confusing you with my uncommon English. If you follow some of the places and countries touched here in wikipedia, you will get lots of surprising information. I get tons of new knowledge through OLC Africa...
