Women caught in adultery are tied to this tree where they could possibly be stinged to death by the tree's residents... Ants!
Those who needed punishment including women, were tied to a tree with these ants and had time to think about their "sins" while the ants feasted on their skin. Lots of ouch.. 😥
Another cool spot where you can relax and have a barbeque on provided grills.
Rainforest Gangsta's..
Fresh cuts of trees that had fallen across the trails. The question is.. if no one was there when they fell, did they make a sound?
Use to produce cooking oil.
Waiting to leave the park sirens are heard in the distance. Soon a caravan of police and military personnel make a brief stop at the park then leave as quick as they arrive.
Relaxing spot to enjoy the Akanda area.
About to be a fresh meal...
