“It’s amazing to hear the sounds of the jungle while I wait for my train in Lisbon” said my Portuguese friend Ana.

- In episode 4, Uganda’s sports tourism ambassador and British TV personality Rob Walker Tickles a rhino and bows to the Shoebill.
- In Episode 6, I am fascinated by every word uttered by primatologist / anthropologist Prof Richard Wrangham!
