M'Baďki, Central African Republic

Displayed:   times.

M'Baďki is a major timber and coffee growing area, and is the home of the Lobaye people and pygmies. Most of the pygmies are on average 120cm (4ft), but some are a lot smaller. There are a few permanent settlements just south of town, and some of the residents are fairly well accustomed to tourists and allow themselves to be photographed for a fee. About 10km (6mi) north-east of town is a village of ébonistes where you can watch men carving ebony and, if you bargain, you can buy pieces for a good price. There is a lovely waterfall near M'Baďki, and you should be able to find someone to guide you there if you ask around.

M'Baďki is 107km (66mi) southwest of the capital, and you can take a bush taxi from the Km 5 market in Bangui. More info on: www.zuji.com.sg
