Guinea Baboon male

Mandina Lodges, Makasutu

There is a large troup of Guinea Baboons living in Makasutu forest. By & large they ignore humans however it is not uncommon to come upon them when out walking the trails at Makasutu.
Whilst out walking we found ourselves in the midst of the troup which became quite noisy & animated. At one point we were charged by this male who backed down when we stood our ground. Staring down a dominant male can be a risky business but once he everts his eyes you know you have the better of him.
