It gives you a real experience of research which I think is a great thing to have gained before leaving Uni.<br /><br /> Yes some people do encounter leopards but 'encounter' isnt really the right word, most people get growled at as they are coming to close and if you are making lots of noise almost all leopards will move away quickly. <br /><br />It is a little scary being out on your own, you do have a radio to contact people with which does certainly help! You undergo all your training with someone as well so you learn the area. By the end of my first month I didn't even think about it.<br /><br />My camera is the canon, sx50, they are about £280 now, which is less than what I got it for.<br /><br />If you have any other questions feel free to email me on erinkaywilliams1993@gmail.com and I would be happy to answer. <br />Sorry for the slow reply!<br />ErinErin Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713415440609943513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245286165004703538.post-17820870068911071252014-12-26T13:40:58.852+00:002014-12-26T13:40:58.852+00:00Hi :) I found your blog while researching about La...Hi :) I found your blog while researching about Lajuma as I'm hoping to be a Primate Research Assistant next summer. I hope you don't mind me commenting with a few questions!<br /><br />It looks amazing from your posts/photos, is it something you would recommend doing as work experience while at uni? I saw on a few posts on another blog about while out in the forest volunteers had encounters with wild leopards (?!), did this ever happen to you and is it safe going out there alone if that could happen?<br /><br />Also your photos are really really good, do you mind me asking what camera you use? :)<br /><br />Thanks - hope you don't mind my questions :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106612568561277320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245286165004703538.post-83316540318510053822014-12-10T23:36:06.707+00:002014-12-10T23:36:06.707+00:00We are all so looking forward to seeing you too.
