Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 89 on our round the world trip. We are here in a small area called Tubaab Deer Law in Senegal, just a little bit south from the capital Dakar in this beautiful place called Lili's Paradise. Have a look. It is paradise. But it was very, very hot last night, so I didn't sleep very well. And then mosquitoes around. So we had to build up the tent actually on top of our bed again to find some hours of rest. But yeah. Look, there's a lizard. They are so cute. But we have a super exciting day ahead. So let me show you guys where we're heading today. Okay, so we are here just down the coast from Dakar in Tubaab Deer Law. And we are gonna be making our way just a little bit across to here, Bandia. So we are heading for the reserve, the Bandia, the Bandia Forest, which not only is an awesome forest full of Baobab trees, but it's also a reserve home to wildlife. So we'll tell you more about what they've got at Reserve De Bandia on the way. Please, please guys, before you continue watching, make sure that you subscribe to our channel right now. Thanks so much. So it's just a short ride for us today. We have about 15 miles, about half an hour. So it's just nine o'clock, but I hit the road. Let's go. All right, welcome to another sweaty morning in Senegal. So we've got a little bit of sand and sort of dirt roads to get to the main road. So Lavin's just gonna walk a little bit and I'm gonna make my way up to the road. There's sandy conditions. Why is getting to our accommodation always such a challenge? All right, so we'll just wait here for Lavin and then we'll hit the road. Look, Bumblebee has been stripped of all of her extras apart from the rear box. Look how streamlined Bumblebee is now without those big panniers. If only we could ride like that and someone just takes our stuff from place to place. If only, hey? If only. I need a break now. Yeah, it's hot. Already so hot. My God. Let's hit the road. What have you got for us there? Got some baguettes? Got some baguettes, some lunch, some dinner, some breakfast. There we go. Baguette is good for everything, hey? Exactly. Okay. We've got our food, our baguette. Ready to rock and roll? Yeah. All right, let's do it. Ha ha. See you. See you. Okay. So we've got a little bit more of this kind of off road, dirt road. And then we'll be heading back to tarmac. Oh yeah, the bike feels nice like that. Yeah, yeah. Definitely a little bit easier to handle without the luggage. Mm-hmm. yeah nice wind cool me down please yeah let's get some speed haha oh my god it's just so humid and so hot even in the morning yeah if you don't if you're not riding with speed it's basically like sitting in a sauna suit oh my god crazy crazy so Bandia reserve where we're heading today is a natural wildlife reserve it's three and a half thousand hectares of apparently native natural flora and fauna and apparently they've managed to reintroduce a lot of species that would have been native to this area including some amazing animals that we absolutely can't wait to see the whole reserve is fenced but it's still supposed to be a very natural native environment not just a big zoo there's also a lot of awesome massive baobab trees in the reserve so that's super cool as well we saw online that normally the way how to visit the park is either with a four-wheel drive truck you have to rent or with your own car we will still ask them if we can ride around with bumblebee I don't know if they agree with that yeah I'm super excited I can't wait I can't wait all right we are coming up to the reserve the Bandia and this is the Bandia forest is just behind here reserve the Bandia yes sanctuary safari bar restaurant reserve the Bandia nice here we go beautiful look at this red road it already feels very safari doesn't it look at this awesome they say be careful water could might cross the road here passage d'animaux nice and there's a picture of some sort of stag gazelle or something cool well here we are in Bandia reserve and you can already see this huge baobab tree up there in between all the other trees you see these giant baobabs just popping out through the trees look there's one nice so pretty so pretty whoa there's such special trees baobabs hey such special trees yes safari time here we go oh look there's a kudu oh wait a minute hold on a minute are there actually any animals here hello bonjour just laugh okay so c'est pas possible avec le moto no no all right all right bumblebee is going to be parked under the giant baobab just here and uh we're gonna go and check out what's going on in Bandia we've got a truck to enter the park and we're with our guide salut we are about to jump into the safari cool let the adventure begin okay we've seen monkeys monkeys check beautiful so saliu said there's two species of monkeys here in the park the red monkeys and the green monkeys it's like two different monkey teams so here in Senegal they're actually used the fruit from the baobab to make juice and they call it monkey bread monkey bread juice and lucky for the baobab tree the wood is very soft and totally useless to people which is super good for the tree because they've left it alone and now they have lots of them he says there's going to be giraffes up ahead we have just spotted our first giraffe over here so this tree here the oldest tree in the reserve probably 1 000 years old they reckon and this tree has actually been used as a cemetery so back then Senegal was divided into castes and actually the lowest caste was the musicians called the griot and which is crazy that the musicians were like the lowest of the castes but they were and because they didn't work the land they didn't believe that they deserve to be buried so instead they just threw them in a tree in this hole here they would just put the griot when they died in this hole and you can see here they actually still have some remains inside the tree that's crazy no it is unbelievable these antelope behind us called the derby antelope it's the largest species of antelope in the whole of Africa rhinos just there zebras just there warthogs just there we've spotted our first ostrich just behind us so because it's the dry season they have to go around with a truck with hay to feed the animals but in the wet season there's a grass naturally growing here so they've just dropped a load of hay in this area and look how many animals there are wow just in this area there's zebras warthogs buffalo you've got horse antelope cape ellen you've got these little cutie monkeys wow and they're all enjoying a bit of hay isn't that lovely i want to join them and join a little bit hay wow safari time so that is it our safari is over we've been taken to the restaurant area but we have our baguettes with us oh this monkey super super impressive and i'm so glad we have seen so many animals and they're living just peaceful next to each other it's just incredible leaving the bandier reserve let's rock and roll let's see nice well what a place hey it was so cool so cool it was so cool i want to work there now it's really nice to see all these animals yeah and the guide spoke english really well we asked if we could have a guide that speaks english and they had which was amazing so i think we had a two hour tour in total which was plenty of time to see like all the beautiful animals they have there wow it's incredible absolutely incredible it's just so nice to to see there in their natural habitat a lot of that wildlife is native to senegal and would have been here originally or is in other wildlife parks and reserves in the country and then some of the animals were actually brought from the kruger national park in south africa so it's a bit of a 50-50 mix between sort of native and non-native but even for the non-native the habitat is perfect for them it looks like they're really free and easy and able to roam around which is awesome yeah i'm just really amazed at the standard of this park as well everything looked really clean and nice and well kept so that's really cool yeah they seem to have taken pride in it and it really like all the guides seemed really seem really passionate about it and and the guy that we were weird that he had been working there for 15 years so it's really cool he knows all the animals from the reserve intimately so it's beautiful it was beautiful to go around with him so it was 40 000 cfa for the car it was six and a half thousand cfa for the guide and it was 12 000 cfa each for the entry to the park so in total that came to i think 70 000 cfa which is about 100 euro so yeah normally if you have your own car you could save the money for the truck yeah and that's about half the whole the half the price so yeah and also only at me we just said that it's our birthday present for each other exactly because that's a little over budget for us i mean there's like three times our daily budget so so that was definitely something special that we really had to do and you know this part of the journey this is as deep into africa that we are going to get we had to take the opportunity to go on a little safari when we could have it so i'm really glad that we did that i'm really glad yeah it's it's worth the money it is worth the money so we're going to head back to our accommodation now it's about 20 minutes away and pretty much just chill for the afternoon that's nice oh a little bit chill yeah back to the ocean cool and some of these really nice beautiful painted fishing boats back on the dirt track they don't seem to have put much effort into the main street or you know the streets in between the houses it's mostly just building materials and bits of sand and stuff and not good for bumblebee no not too good that was where we could have stayed yesterday hotel paradelo it said piscine it said swimming pool i got excited it turned out not to be our place you know and then you've got an iris hotel here as well a resort but you know it's not the places for us the temperature is 32 degrees and it feels like 40 degrees yeah it's a humid 32 that's for sure yeah so this is the turn to our place i think lavi you'll have to uh i would jump off jump off here oh seriously when you're not moving it's almost unbearable on the bike here i mean it's so hot and humid like without any wind whoa it's a sauna suit plus some little cutie goats around hello yeah this bit's basically a beach whoo jays all right i've got to do a bit of a yui and then we're all good well that stall indicates the end i think oh and a little doggie trying to say hi hello you kitty oh
