A rainforest discovery like no other. Fill your lungs with the freshest air in the world as you explore the vast Congo Basin and its rare and endangered species from lowland gorillas and forest elephants to bongo and blue turaco. You will stay in 3 unique camps in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park and undertake an epic adventure of gorilla tracking, boating, game drives, kayaking, forest walking and river-wading.
After a night in the capital Brazzaville, you will be flown to the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and undertake a transformational journey into one of the wildest, most isolated places on the planet. Second only in size to the Amazon, the Congo has scarcely any visitors and its species numbers are staggering. You will experience rainforests, savannahs, rivers, mineral-rich baïs and swamps, staying 3 nights at Ngaga Camp (with 2 gorilla tracks), 2 nights on the baï at Lango Camp, and 2 nights along the river at Mboko Camp.
