Why visit Republic of Congo?

Our Congo holidays offer a refreshingly different African wildlife experience focusing on the fascinating and remote Odzala-Kokoua National Park. The trips are light adventure, during which guests explore one of the continent's most impressive equatorial rainforest ecosystems and experience excellent hospitality in secluded, exclusive camps.

The three camps we use on our Congo holidays are extremely comfortable and sensitively designed using local, sustainable materials. Lango Camp is located in the west of Odzala-Kokoua National Park on the edge of the savannah, whilst Ngaga Camp is set deep within the rainforest. The third, Mboko Camp, is well located to complete what is an unforgettable and well-planned circuit. 

Reaching the camps is part of the (light) adventure - please see our sample itinerary for detailed information on how this exciting itinerary is best done.

Odzala's wildlife includes 11 diurnal primate species. While the Lowland gorillas are without doubt the star attraction, other noteworthy and sought-after wildlife includes Forest elephant (still fairly shy), Forest buffalo (very common) and various antelopes including the unmistakeable Bongo, as well as Black-fronted duiker. In additional there are approximately 430 bird species, including specials such Hartlaub's duck,  Black bee-eater and also, impressive flocks of African grey parrots and African green pigeon.

The camps offer night drives to look for some of the more reclusive animals such as spotted hyena, African golden cat and leopard.
