Secrets of the Congo

8 Days from $16,475 per person

In the heart of the continent lies a hidden jewel of ancient rainforests, winding rivers, lush swamps and mineral-rich bais. In this enchanting world, great apes, forest elephants, water buffalo, bongos, bush pigs and myriad primate species thrive. Flocks of colorful parrots swirl through the skies and wading birds tiptoe through the marshy wetlands. This is truly a place to be transported to another world. Trek to see the habituated Odzala gorillas and spend hours sitting beside the bais watching the parade of wildlife stopping by. Take to the rivers to delve deeper into the Congo and truly soak in the wild magic of this Eden.
