Home to the Western lowland gorilla, the Republic of Congo (not to be confused with the DRC) is emerging as the best place to see these magnificent creatures. The vast tropical interior is also home to forest elephant (a smaller species of elephant), buffalo, Sitatunga, Bongo, 11 other primates including wild chimpanzees and over 430 bird species. Our Congo wildlife holidays are based in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, which is located in the second largest tropical rainforest in the world.
