Camping in the rainforest

Last weekend I and a few friends had the great privilege of camping and hiking in the second-largest patch of primary rainforest in West Africa. Our guides were wonderful, and taught us to call antelope, follow elephants, track and ambush poachers, and of course the finer points of machete slashing.

It was absolutely stunning, even the 11-hour drive each way. See the rest of the photos here. Happy Easter!
