  • Ep4 Possibly the most beautiful river in the world is in Congo? - Thomas Minesi

    In this episode we chat extensively with Thomas Minesi, a native Congolese nature explorer and a fellow hobbyist, about this mysterious lake or river (still up to debate), which according to Thomas, is THE most beautiful river in the world! He might be bias, but I might just agree with him!

    Check out our youtube video of this podcast if you want to see what we are talking about!
