 I am not very familiar with African ants but it is Camponotus sp. Some other photos (lateral view, head detail) could help to id at least the subgenus.

 I was not able to give more information on it but Dr. Brian Taylor, the expert for African ant fauna, kindly replied to my question: "...It seems highly likely to be Camponotus flavomarginatus

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
