Boshert (Mazama americana) Red Brocket deer Reuzenotter (Pteronura brasiliensis) Giant River Otter Schneiders gladvoorhoofdkaaiman (Paelosuchus trigonatus) Schneider’s Dwarf Caiman Experience the undisturbed tropical rainforest T he beautiful Kabalebo River Resort is located on the banks of the Kabalebo River. From here you can take walks or a canoe trip with a local guide. I loved walking down the runway in the 昀椀rst light of morning with the camera at the ready. You often have the chance to encounter a Tapir or Red Brocket. You have to be a bit more lucky to spot a Puma or Jaguar. It is possible to take a daily boat trip on the Kabalebo River where you can search the banks and Forest edges for Giant River Otters, Red Howler Monkeys, Caimans, Sloths and the many bird species including the rare Harpy Eagle that is regularly sighted here. By boat you can also visit some special places along the river such as the Moi Moi waterfall. After a short walk, the forest suddenly opens up and you see the waterfall appear in all its glory in front of you. There you can take a nice cooling bath or shoot nice pictures as a nature photographer. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is home to a Caiman who has found his own paradise here for years. I have visited the Moi Moi waterfall several times to photograph this special reptile. The Surinamese nature is certainly a reason for me to return more often. There is still a lot to discover time after time. I su magazine su magazine 23 23 Foto: Jap Smits Wi l d l i f e of Sur i name
