The village of Surama is located at the transition between the savannah and the mountains. This gives the area a rich diversity of ecosystems, and the villagers have capitalized on this to make their village an important centre for eco-tourism.

The paths of the two groups crossed at Surama. This joint photo was taken as
Group A was leaving the guest house and Group B was  taking up residence.
