Apparently, August is the best time of the year to be in Maroua because it rains quite often making the environment a bit refreshing. This time, there is a Muslim feast coming up on Sunday the 11th August so there are several lambs in town which I think are getting ready for slaughter in a couple of days. The lambs don't mind sharing a motor bike ride. If you are thirsty in Maroua town, you can be sure to easily find drinking water nearby.
