The Central African "reservoir" of Ebola seems likely to be Kitum Cave in Kenya which is filled with bats.
Can other animals be carriers, too?
Abstract
During the 2001-2002 outbreak in Gabon, we observed that several dogs were highly exposed to Ebola virus by eating infected dead animals. To examine whether these animals became infected with Ebola virus, we sampled 439 dogs and screened them by Ebola virus-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) G assay, antigen detection, and viral polymerase chain reaction amplification. Seven (8.9%) of 79 samples from the 2 main towns, 15 (15.2%) of 99 samples from Mekambo, and 40 (25.2%) of 159 samples from villages in the Ebola virus-epidemic area had detectable Ebola virus-IgG, compared to only 2 (2%) of 102 samples from France. Among dogs from villages with both infected animal carcasses and human cases, seroprevalence was 31.8%. A significant positive direct association existed between seroprevalence and the distances to the Ebola virus-epidemic area. This study suggests that dogs can be infected by Ebola virus and that the putative infection is asymptomatic.
Note the key word ASYMPTOMATIC. Dogs can carry the disease and not exhibit any symptoms! Now dogs are eating human corpses in Liberia because there aren't enough grave diggers.
Shallow graves, feral packs of dogs...

The Kitum cave is to be found in Kenya, which is in East Africa, and it is not a reservoir of Ebola. Scientists strongly suspect that it is a reservoir of the Marburg virus, a related filovirus to Ebola.
