Ngorongoro Crater – home of the breakdancing zebra

Sirena Ranger Station

Before we left the UK, my sister and I booked an overnight trip to Sirena Ranger Station in Corcovado National Park with Corcovado Expeditions. This part of Costa Rica is famed for its wildlife and, as a Zoology graduate, I’m always on the lookout for chances to see rare and unusual creatures in their natural habitats.     We met Kenneth … [Read more...]
