>>2048521>Were you up that high for the view, wildlife or both?Mostly to keep away from the snakes; there are lions in the area but you never know who to believe about whether or not they're aggressive. Apparently lions don't understand tents contain food (that's anecdotal, but maybe ZAnon can confirm?) so maybe the high hang is unnecessary.
>>2048508Speaking for northwest Africa, malaria is obviously your number one concern, and the nocturnal snakes will fuck your shit up. I don't see camping without some kind of net as an option unless you're north of malaria country, but south of the scorpion-infested Maghreb.
I've never found a tick on me, but livestock do get them bad.
