For birders:

Excellent day birding in Semuliki NP. The thing about Semuliki is that it is on the Easten Edge of Congo Forest without being in DRC. So lots of central Africa specials. Check the distributions of some (most) on our list for the day. 

Again not sighting and id not possible (for us) without our excellent guide Moses.
