About Manolo y Sophie

When Sophie first proposed to travel around for a long time with only a backpack instead of the standard two-week beach honeymoon, Manolo thought she was crazy. But then he said: "Why not?" And so after their beautiful wedding on July 1, 2017, they packed up their appartment, put their stuff in storage and left for St. Petersburg with nothing but two 10-kg backpacks and a big hunger for adventure.

Into the jungle we go. #dzangasangha #rainforest #centralafricanrepublic #centralafrica #dolilodge

Ba’aka dancing. #centralafricanrepublic #dzangasangha #dolilodge

Since the last 20 years, the Ba'aka have gradually started coming out of the forest. They now live in a village outside of the forest and interact with the local people around them. They still go back to the forest occasionally to hunt and gather food, but the forest doesn't provide enough food to survive of anymore for all of them. No one knows what the future holds for them. #CentralAfrica #CAR #CentralAfricanRepublic #dzangasangha

The boys in the picture are making roofs using rafia plants. When you layer the plants close enough together, the roofs can withstand even the most vicious tropical rainstorms. But every 2 to 3 years, the roofs need to be replaced. #dzangasangha #baaka #CAR #centralafrica #naturalconstruction

The Ba'aka people live from what the forest gives them. They are hunter-gatherers and live in small huts in the forest that the women construct from branches and leaves of the trees around. #dzangasangha #CAR #centralafrica #dolilodge

The Ba'aka people are a tribe of pygmies that live on the outskirts of the Dzanga Sangha National Park. We spent the afternoon learning about them, interacting with them, singing and dancing all together, laughing and playing with the kids. Smiles and handshakes work in any language. #car #centralafrica #dzangasangha #dolilodge

Where is Manolo? #dzangasangha #CAR

The last couple of days have been a trip down #locurademiel memory lane as we have been taking out our battered travel clothes again to pack our trusted backpacks. You guessed it right, it's time for another adventure! A new country for Manolo, and a new continent for Sophie. Africa, here we come. #centralafricanrepublic #dzanghasanga
