How difficult would Zebra Duiker be to photograph in Cote D’Ivoire?

The habitat area should theoretically be accessible for photography… but somehow all the pictures I see were taken from 1990-2005 or earlier.
Surprised none were taken more recently

    Have you seen the reports that Charles Foley and I wrote from a trip a year ago? They should be helpful. Bottom line a zebra duiker saw us but not vice versa.

      Interesting stuff.
      But what I really wonder is, on the chance of seeing one in the small area they patrol as described, how plausible proper photography would be.
      Whether the forest is too dark, whether the duikers would be too alerted by the camera noises, how humid it’d be etc etc….

    It’s the least common Duiker at Tai NP (at least in the vicinity of Camp Chimpanzee), but I think you’d have a good chance to photograph one if you dedicated a week to it. They are easier to find in the dry season than in the wet season (which is when I visited). I’d recommend asking Kevin where they’ve been seen recently and setting up a blind near a fruiting tree.
