Batanga Fishermens

Many of the Batanga fishermen live in Kribi, in the south of Cameroon, and they have a great reputation, for making extraordinary catches. Its sage to say that is where best the best fish is caught in all of Kribi and even Africa. The Batanga fishermen have a very self-sacrificing life. Each day, as dawn rises, they set out to see in search of prey, no matter the weather or how rough the sea. In addition, the tools that they use for fishing are very rudimentary and most of the boats are a type of canoe that is made with logs. The boats are made from enormous tree trunks that are completely empty, and oddly enough, last long at sea.
