Walked to Dzangha bai today. Great time there on the platform with forest elephants and buffalos.
So tired, muddy and sweaty but very happy
Today was hunting with BiAka tribe, pangolin trekking and trying to find the picathartes….BaAka hunting was amazing and authentic. Then we trekked and saw Koki the blackbellied pangolin they released 2 years ago. Off looking for the picathartes……
