Wildlife of Dzanga Bai in the Central African Republic
This ~9 minute video recaps my experience of Dzanga Bai. Starting from the hike to the Bai (from the Parking lot, and through the stream), then through the forest, where we encountered some Putty-nosed Monkeys, then to the platform.
Throughout our time there we saw and photographed the putty-nosed monkeys, many elephants, buffalo, several birds such as sunbirds, african grey parrots, storks, waxbills, bee-eaters and even a small lizard. After the rains, we had surprise visits by a servaline genet (around 7:12) and later on a family of Giant Forest Hogs.
We were really hoping for bongos and red river hogs, but it leaves something for next time. All-in-all, an amazing place. Except the sweat bees which come in swarms during the dry season, especially in the afternoons.

Dzanga Bai - Central African Republic HD
Dzanga Bai is the best place in the world to study forest elephants. They are here 24 hours a day, with each elephant spending hours to days in these peaceful surroundings. The forest elephant is smaller than its savannah cousin, rarely reaching more than 8 feet in height. Its ivory is denser, fetching a higher price and attracting poachers. It is estimated that 10% of the population of perhaps 150,000 forest elephants are killed each year in the Congo Basin.
The Ba'Aka pygmies are among the oldest inhabitants of the Congo Basin, living mostly as hunters and gatherers. Although there is some trading with their Bantu neighbors, they owe their total existence to the natural resources which nature has endowed on their habitat: the rain forest.
Due to their remote habitat, recent studies estimate that more than 100,000 lowland gorillas exist in the wild, as compared to only 750 mountain gorillas. This is the species most often found in zoos.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Central African Republic.
1. The present-day capital of CAR, Bangui, rests beside the River Ubangi. Places of interest include the colourful Central Market, the Boganda Museum, the Arts and Crafts School, the cathedral and the Saint Paul Mission.
2. At Bouar, in the east of the country, see burial mounds thought to be thousands of years old, studded with tanjunu (upright megaliths). About 2,500 years ago local farmers set up megaliths weighing several tons each near Bouar. The cooperation necessary to make and position these monuments suggests that they were built by large social units.
3. Boali is a town located in the Central African Republic prefecture of Ombella-M’Poko. Situated on the Mbali River, Boali is noted for its waterfalls and for the nearby hydroelectric dam. The Falls of Boali are 250 m wide and 50 m high.
4. The population of the Central African Republic has almost quadrupled since independence. In 1960, the population was 1,232,000; as of 2014, it is approximately 4,709,000. The nation is divided into over 80 ethnic groups, each with its own language. The 2 official languages are French and Sango, CAR being one of the few African countries to have an African language as their official language.
5. From the 16th to 19th century, the people of this region were ravaged by slave traders. The French occupied the region in 1894. After World War II a rebellion forced the French to grant self-government and in 1960 it became independent.
6. The three most important parks are Manovo-Gounda St Floris, known for its high concentration of hippos; Bamingui-Bangoran in the north; and Dzanga-Sangha in the southwest. The game population of these national parks is impressive. It is also possible to view gorillas in Bayanga.
7. Despite its significant mineral deposits and other resources, such as uranium reserves, oil, gold, diamonds, cobalt, lumber, and hydropower, as well as significant quantities of arable land, the Central African Republic is among the ten poorest countries in the world. As of 2014, the country had the second lowest level of human development, ranking 187th out of 188 countries.

Makumba Gorilla Group - Central African Republic
In local Ba'Aka language Makumba means with speed. This is the name given to the band of gorillas in the Bai-Hokou region of the reserve. It's also an apt name for the silverback who kept trying to run while the group was being habituated.
In October 2012 I had the privilege of visiting a truly unique spot in Africa - Dzanga-Sangha Forest Reserve -- a magnificent swath of emerald green tropical forest located in the extreme south west of the Central African Republic. It is also part of the Tri-National UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is deep within this forest that we found the Makumba Group of Lowland Gorillas. The habituation of this particular group began in 2000 and by 2004 opened to visitors. Today, with thanks to the WWF, gorilla trekking has grown and tourism to Dzanga-Sanga Forest focuses on gorilla tracking at two locations around the reserve - The Bai Hokou & Mongambe.
My encounter with the lowland gorillas at the bai was truly one of my most memorable and exhilarating gorilla experiences to date!
