WildlifeDirect, based in Mutsora station of North Virunga
National Park
started working with the Okapi Reserve some months ago on blogs. The aim of this partnership is to see how to promote conservation in the world by exchanging ideas through blogs with some friends of nature .
Samantha and Ephrem were pioneers reaching Epulu and installed Zoundry software in three computers, but today it is Virginia and Kizito for solving some technical problems.
Once arrived, Virginia and Kizito were welcomed by the Assistant warden of Okapi Wildlife Reserve (OWR) Mr. Somba.

According to Virginia , she had a safe journey despite the impracticable road from Mangina to Mambasa. Both had ridden its motorbike. “We spent 10 hours from Mutsora to Mambasa (145km.),” said Virginia , and her first impression is to bewitched by the ecosystem of the reserve.

Hello William, we did 10 hours from Mutsora to Mambasa (145km), and then 1 1/2 more to get to Epulu (75km) because it was a good road. We spent most of our time on the floor, it was soooo muddy. We will take another route to go back.

Hello Everyone! Today it is my last day in Epulu, and I can only say it has been an amazing experience to work with such dedicated and concerned people such as Rosie and Somba. They are an example of good will and sacrifice. The Reserve and the several projects running in Epulu are a success, please keep checking on their development!
