Hyena Feeding
How could you visit Harar and not see this????? The hyenas are tame if not timid around humans....maybe because the get feed by them every night or they beat them when the tourists are not around..anyway There are two places to see this at night around 7pm. On spot is down the road from Fallana Gate (where I saw them) and the other is between Sanga Gate and Erer Gate. If you go with Abdul he will hit you up for cab fare which will double as lights for the show. If you have a cheap Nikon like I do will give you plenty of pics with glare from the headlights. Basically its a local who sits on the ground in front of the hungry critters with some short sticks for placing scaps of meat that get dumped into his basket. You will get the chance to feed them as I did..you then realise why they use sticks for feeding. The feeder will even put a stick in his mouth and let them grab a quick bite.
Try and negotiate on the price as the show lasts about 15 min depending on the crowd which can be small depending on the night.
