A Ba’aka (pygmy) guide brings me into their forest full of WILD elephants 🇨🇫[S7-E77]

In this episode, I visit Dzanga Bai, within the Dzanga Sangha national park. This natural place is a haven for wild forest elephant, who come here to dig for mineral rich soil. This is hands down the best place in the world to watch forest elephant in the wild and I can't believe I'm the only visitor there...

Here I teach all my filming techniques including getting drone shots while riding!

Imagine the stories this woman will tell someday when she's drinking tea on the porch at 98 years old. What an amazing life she has made for herself.

As an African I'm brought to tears when I see this beautiful country. Thanks Noraly for showing CAR to the world.

Was I the only one crying from the very beginning of seeing these animals, and then bawling at the protective mama and the baby? Noraly - thank you for this beautiful and emotional cinema.

[ksavage]

It's not gold or jewels... THIS is the treasure that we saw today. Beautiful country and animals that must stay protected. I felt like I was there!!!

[johnnorth]

The scene with the mother protecting her baby was very heartwarming. Excellent.

[joebrumfield]

It makes my heart sing to know these elephants are not captives and they can come and go as they please. 😊 Lots of babies so they must be happy!
Thanks, Noraly, for your dedication to bring us these treasures that 99% of us would not be able to appreciate without you!

[pakjohn]

I've followed Noraly for years, through both danger and beauty but todays elephant viewing was an emotional high for me. Thank you Noraly.

I’m a former adventure touring cyclist who is now quite challenged by a half hour on my ebike. Thanks so much for the vicarious thrills and elephant highs etc. and reminding us what a beautiful planet we live on. You’re really creating a travelogue masterpiece that will inspire people forever.

[jimdolen]

In a world full of greed and hate just knowing that such a place exists makes it so much better. Thank you for doing the hard work of getting there and sharing this magic place with us all!

[EGWebber]

I have spent 35 years in geological exploration in Africa. I of course love your Africa tales as most of where you have travelled I have too. Watched every episode. Having seen what you have seen in todays episode is a privilege. However your photography was something else. Sunning. I’m sending this video of yours to all my friends around the world. That is how good it was S7 - E77.

[jasonzerbini]

A broken down Toyota, almost as rare as seeing the elephants. Glad you filmed and put that scene in the video Noraly. Peace! ❤❤❤

[cathyholt]

That is the most elephants I've ever seen in one place! So many babies. My 95 yr old mom has collected elephant figures her whole life as she finds them fascinating. She really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing.

[danielfox]

I’m dying slowly of depression and a host of illnesses, Noraly is a great watch. I can live vicariously through her videos. I love learning about other cultures and witnessing the humanity In people of the world. To me, this is better than anything on television. What an amazing woman. 👍🤘

[mikelenahan]

I don't know why but seeing these elephants in their natural habitat made me emotional. I teared up. It was a fantastic sight. Thank you so much Noraly 🙂

[popeyeish]

Far away from one nation trying to wipe out another, mindless wars, even less mindless politics and power struggles, exists another peaceful universe. People go about their daily lives as best as they can no matter what, helping and respecting one another and their environment, children take great joy in what they have. And Noraly brings this to us through thick and thin and I can hear Louis Armstrong singing "What a wonderful world" Thanks Noraly for all the trouble you go through to show us the nicer side of humanity, the beauty of nature and stunning, hidden corners of the world. You are the best. ❤

[diane]

This was a breathtaking episode. I was not prepared for how touched I was by the river of elephants. They looked so happy, because they were home, whole families of them playing, socializing and just being...as it should always be.

Noraly, every time I see one of your videos, I think of a quote I saw one time (and I'm fairly old, so it's an old quote) that the best life a person can pray for is a life well lived. You've done that and are still doing that. Amazing. Thank you for taking us along.
