F rom the Zintete lodge, you can explore the area on your own on foot. This is why I love returning there. For instance, every morning I walked to the bridge over the Little Saramacca River. On the roadside verge, I found a diverse colour palette of 昀氀owering plants and shrubs. I kept marvelling at the many butter昀氀y species attracted by this array of colours. In the forest edges, birds twittered and woodpeckers hammered. The abundance of insects, 昀氀owers and fruits in the undisturbed rainforest provided a varied and sumptuous breakfast for them. After a short 4x4 drive, you can head to the base of Fredberg where the tracks to the summit and the courtship site of the orange rock bird begin. As a lover of snakes and frogs, climbing Fredberg at night was an adventure in itself. At night, the tropical forest reveals many of its natural treasures. In the morning, after a short night in your hammock in the camp at the summit, you get the gift of an unforgettable sunrise with breathtaking views of the steaming forest (text to be translated). An experience you will never forget. An adventurous climb and unforgettable saunrise on the mountain I su magazine su magazine 19 19 Wi l d l i f e of Sur i name Foto: Jap Smits
