The widening of the Congo River where Brazzaville and Kinshasa face each other across the water. Stanley Pool to the colonizers, Pool Malebo to everyone who actually lives here. The fishermen cast their nets at dawn, the barges carry goods upriver, and on clear nights you can see the lights of Kinshasa twinkling on the other side. Two national capitals, one river, thirty minutes by ferry and a world of rivalry.
You witness the oryx, springbok, and black-backed jackal roaming Namibia's stark desert landscapes as signature wildlife. You notice that dogs and cats dominate as pets, with some residents keeping guinea fowl for both companionship and eggs. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
