I am curious about the pygmy village (and I have got to remember to use that word in Scrabble someday). Did you meet the folks who live there? The picture looks like one of the shelters is still under construction, and the choice of materials makes me think they have to be rebuilt periodically.
Yea, we met the residents. They were very excited to meet us, and the chief did a welcoming ceremony as well (which involved rubbing muddy water over everyone's head - not a fan). They live very simple lives, and their dwellings are not intended to last a long time. They move locations based on where the best resources are available (hunting, gathering, etc).
