In November 2023 I had the privilege of spending a few hours with the Baka tribe also known as the pygmées. The oldest tribe on earth can be found in various areas in Central Africa such as Cameroon,Gabon and DRC. Averaging 1.52 meters of heigh they are mainly known for their short stature and their lifestyle which consist of hunting and living in the forest. Very welcoming , the tribe which consisted of about fifty people , greeted us with chants and dances thanking the forest spirit for guiding us to their territory. Living of hunting and gathering, it was very humbling to see that despite being away from traditional society that a group of individual can survive and prosper so long.
