One of the things I would suggest is to first discover
all the 'regular' inhabitants of this lake area, something
tells me this is a legend that's mixed between the
hippopotamus and the white rhino that inhabits the jungle
area there.

Remember, this is a creature WE want to find, not the natives
of that part of the Congo.
I also believe they don't drink Umbongo there.

I've seen the 1992 Japanese film crew clip a few times on a syndicated Freeview channel - the last time within a year or so ago. The clip is in the second (as I recall) episode of a three-part documentary on the nature and wildlife of the Congo produced by the BBC. You can find out more at the following link:

en.wikipedia.org...(BBC_TV_series)

The re-runs would probably have been on the Freeview BBC3 or BBC4 channels.

I've seen the 1992 Japanese film crew clip a few times on a syndicated Freeview channel - the last time within a year or so ago. The clip is in the second episode (Spirits of the Forest) of a three-part documentary on the nature and wildlife of the Congo produced by the BBC (2001). You can find out more at the following link:

(If the page doesn't show, just search for 'BBC Congo' in Wikipedia and you'll find it.

The second episode is summarised thus:

2. Spirits of the Forest
The Biaka (Bayaka) and Baka pygmies of the northern Congo basin relate tales of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé, a legendary, dinosaur-like creature purportedly inhabiting the Lake Tele region of the Republic of the Congo (ROC). It is thought to feed on Landolphia, a type of liana. More mundane denizens of the ROC include moustached guenons, crowned guenons, red colobus monkeys, okapis and the blue duiker. Figs sustain great blue turacos, black mangabeys and various hornbills. The forests of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park support common chimpanzees and the bais of Dzanga-Sangha National Park in the Central African Republic support numbers of forest elephant. Other Congolese inhabitants featured include red river hogs, bongos, forest buffalo, orb-web spiders and colonial spiders. Returning again to the ROC, the Biaka are seen to expertly craft Portuguese-style crossbows and arrows made from seven different kinds of wood and other plants. Gorillas are again viewed at the Odzala National Park.

The re-runs would probably have been on the Freeview BBC3 or BBC4 channels.

The BBC may still hold copies, or be able to tell when if/when it's likely to be re-aired.

I have seen the japanese one in helicopter like 6months ago, i cant remember where.
But it was just an excerp, just the few seconds showing the "giant snake" from quite far away.

Never seen this other one, i need it !

It's probably the same excerpt clip. In this documentary, the Japanese footage is just a few seconds at range - not close enough to be anything more than suggestive.
