“Having breakfast with magnificent view over the misty Sangha river... Can't help thinking about Apocalypse now. Wading through shallow waters with the sun penetrating through the bursts of the forest's leafy ceiling, creating a magnificent red and orange forest floor. Hiking through the deep mysterious jungle, flashes of gorillas in front of you as you walk, elephant sounds in the back, tons of beautiful butterflies gliding with us through the forest as our cano helps us through the swamp. Mysterious eyes of bush babies, fire flies and glowing spiders during night walks. The chanting of the pygmy hunters in the back of our truck ... This has truly been one of my most fascinating travels so far ...Satellite internet in the jungle from Central African Republic, pretty cool"
