The Republic of Congo is a brand new destination! We are thrilled to be including safari adventures to trek to see Western Lowland Gorillas. The sparsely populated Republic of the Congo is a surprising central African gem with seemingly endless pristine tropical forest and fingers of moist savannah covering its interior. Odzala-Kokoua National Park lies is the remote north of the country - in the heart of the Congo Basin, the world's second largest expanse of tropical rain forest. Aside from a host of forest biodiversity, it holds Africa's densest population of Western Lowland Gorillas. It is also renowned as the richest forest block in central Africa for primates species with eleven diurnal species recorded.
Activities range from gorilla tracking (habituated groups), pirogue rides along lush river systems, night drives in the savannah, walks along lush forest streams and salines, and of course time spent at the productive forest bais.
