Wonderful images, thank you. Why is Akagera national park confiscating bicycles from poachers? What kind of poached animal can you transport on a bicycle… these must be some local poachers of small game from the nearby villages, not the type of organized gangs hunting big game. Or is it the same as everywhere… small petty crime will be punished, large scale crime will find ways to not get punished.
Thank you. I suppose the small-time poachers use bikes simply to get around the park, which is certainly not small. But yes, it would be pretty difficult to transport a lion on one...
