Nick and the former manatee hunter, Soami at a tower the EcoGuides have built for offshore observation.

The beach off Mayumba. We saw buffalo tracks everywhere and there are lowland gorillas here too. Didn’t see one yet though- you’ll know when I do!

Nick and I (with driver Papa) surveying a river where Soami tells us is best in the area for manatees. Unfortunately fallen logs across it prevented us from going as far up as we wanted.
