This week, we are slowing down to reconnect with nature on the edge of the tropical rainforest. Come with me as we navigate waterlogged “elephant potholes,” the lockdown playground I shared with my 10-year-old nephew, Dillon. It’s a delightfully squelchy episode!
Put on your gumboots and find out:
- What will I see from the bird hide?
- Who might need rescuing from the elephant trench?
- Why is life so difficult for farmers living on the edge of Kibale National Park?
- The joys of a muddy walk!
Join me, Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu, as we splosh about on the edge of the forest.
This episode is dedicated to Mzee, the late Silver Kyamukama, an expert tracker, reformed poacher, and long-term friend of Sunbird Hill, Nature Monitoring and Rewilding Site, Kibale Forest, Uganda on the edge of Kibale Forest, western Uganda.
