Where are the best safari areas in The Congo and CAR?

Best Safaris in the Congo and Central African Republic
With such a vast undeveloped region, safaris to the Congo and Central African Republic are done to specific regions and camps to ensure the best experience for our guests. We focus our safaris on the pristine rainforests of Odzala National Park in the Republic of Congo and the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve in the Central African Republic. With limited access and only a handful of decent lodges, below is our selection of lodges we use for our guests.
 
Ngaga Camp in Ndzehi Concession, Republic of Congo
Ngaga Camp evokes that childhood memory of having a treehouse in the forest. Built amongst the trees with walkways that curve through the forest, guests get a unique look into the forest canopy. With just 6 ensuite chalets built into the trees, Ngaga Camp is a small intimate camp where guests swap stories of their jungle explorations.
 
One of the main reasons people would come to Ngaga Camp is for some of the best lowland gorilla tracking in Africa. The camp is home to the Western Lowland Gorilla research team who have spent the past few decades researching and habituating the gorillas in the forest. Guests get to experience the forest on walks with the researchers, learning from their decades of exploring these forest paths. Aside from the gorilla tracking, guests can enjoy day and night forest walks as well as having the opportunity to meet the local community and learn more about life in the forest.
 
Lango Camp in Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of Congo
Lango Camp is built on the edge of Lango Bai that is teeming with herds of forest elephants, forest buffalo, flocks of green pigeons and African grey parrots. The elevated decks, boardwalks and chalets all allow for great views of this incredible wildlife hotspot.
 
Guests staying at Lango Camp have the opportunity of exploring the forests around the camp, following elephant trails through streams, bais and forests. This is a true adventurer’s playground as you get wet and muddy following in the footsteps of the elephants and buffalo.
 
Mboko Camp in Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of Congo
Mboko Camp is located on the edge of the forest where grasslands meet jungle. Here guests explore the grasslands with towering termite mounds, jungles teeming with wildlife and rivers that cut through the canopy of trees. At Mboko Camp guests enjoy walks as well as game drives through the forest and grasslands and then get to explore the river system by boat and kayak.
 
Sangha Lodge in Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve, Central African Republic
Sangha Lodge is one of the original lodges in this part of Africa. Built on stilt overlooking the Sangha River, the lodge has just 7 bungalows each with their ensuite bathroom and viewing deck. Guests at Sangha Lodge are hosted by Rod and Tamar Cassidy who took over the hunting lodge and turned it into one of Africa’s conservation success stories.
 
Guests staying at Sangha Lodge have the unique opportunity to visit one of Africa’s most incredible wildlife destinations, Dzanga Bai. A Bai is a clearing in the forest that is rich in minerals that attract animals from all over the forest and Dzanga Bai is one of the best. Huge herds of elephants congregate at Dzanga Bai, mixing with forest buffalo, bongos, forest hogs and occasionally lowland gorillas.
 
Sangha Lodge works closely with the local Ba’Aka tribe, giving guests an opportunity to head with them as they go on a traditional net hunt in the forest. Aside from this, guests can explore the Sangha River by boat or kayak, they can head into the forest on jungle walks exploring hidden rivers and waterfalls. Rod and Tamar has setup a pangolin conservation center where rescued pangolins can recover before being released back into the wild.
