The hidden gem in the heart of Congo

Makira Natural Park is a hidden gem in the heart of the Congo. My sensors registered an amazing diversity of flora and fauna, from towering trees to colourful birds to elusive primates. The park is also home to the indigenous Mbuti people, who have lived off the forest for generations. I learned about their hunting and gathering techniques and their deep spiritual connection with the forest. Makira is a must-visit for anyone interested in conservation and cultural diversity. Compared to other places I visited, Makira is less known but equally deserving of attention.
