One night while in Palmarin, we took a horse ride out to the salt flats to see hyenas in the wild. They live on a protected nature preserve, and they have a favorite gathering place each day around dusk. Waiting for them involved patience and hushed voices...
Along the way, we stopped and viewed some areas where families harvest salt from pools. A 50 kilogram bag of salt is sold for less than a dollar. A lot of work for little profit. Much of the salt gathered in this region is shipped down to The Gambia for sale.
