Odzala-Kokoua National park, Republic of Congo

The Congo basin forms one of the most important wilderness areas with over 500 million acres, it is the second largest tropical rainforest on earth. Within this vast expanse of tropical forest is the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, covering approximately 3,3 million acres and home to approximately 22,000 lowland gorillas.
 
Odzala-Kokoua National Park is one of Africa’s oldest national parks, created in 1935, it is now under the management of African Parks, with the Congo Conservation Camps bring tourists to experience one of the worlds last intact ecosystems. The forests, grassy savannas, bais and rivers of Odzala-Kokoua National Park are home to some of the worlds rarest animals including forest elephants, forest buffalo, forest hogs, sitatunga antelope, chimpanzees and thousands of birds.
 
Guests staying at the 3 lodges within the park and surrounding ecosystem get to explore the forests of Odzala-Kokoua National Park, following elephant trails, kayaking along rivers or enjoying a game drive across the grassy savanna and tracking lowland gorillas through the forest. Tracking lowland gorillas through the forests of Odzala-Kokoua is an experience you will never forget. Once the family has been found, guests get to spend an hour with them as they go about their daily lives. Being smaller, than mountain gorillas, lowland gorillas are more mobile and will often climb trees to access the fresh fruits and leaves that they feed on.
 
Jungle walks are led by experienced guides or researchers and follow elephant paths as they crisscross the jungle leading to clearings or bais that are rich in minerals. This is a real adventure that requires a bit of getting wet and muddy as the paths cross streams and small rivers. Nighttime walks open up a whole new experience as nocturnal creatures wake up. Insects, bats, scorpions and more can be seen on night walks through the forest.
 
Exploring the vast river systems by kayak or boat allow you to explore deeper into the jungles. Along some of the smaller tributaries, guests can kayak and often see forest elephants and forest buffalo coming down for a drink. Gliding silently, allows for some incredible close-up experiences.
