We are delighted to announce that we have now added the exciting destination of Republic of the Congo to our expanding collection of safari destinations.

Located in Central Africa, the Republic of the Congo is wild and unspoilt and captivates visitors with an abundance of natural beauty and pristine wilderness eco-systems.

The country is comprised largely of dense lowland forest. This supports a diverse array of wildlife and is home to many rare and endangered species including forest elephants, chimpanzees, western lowland gorillas, leopards and bongo antelope. Visitors can explore by vehicle, boat or on foot, each with great opportunities for seeing and photographing wildlife.

Not to be confused with its neighbour (the separate country of Democratic Republic of Congo), the Republic of the Congo is an emerging tourist destination appealing to those who may be looking for a new type of safari adventure or simply wanting to immerse themselves in nature somewhere truly remote.

Our brand new Congo program features a choice of tours to the Odzala-Kokoua National Park.

This intrepid safari takes you to the unique and varied eco-systems of the Congo Basin. You will be exploring this extraordinary location with walks and boating activities as well as having the opportunity to track endangered Western Lowland Gorillas in their natural habitat, a truly thrilling and magical experience.

Highlights

Starting in Brazzaville, fly to the Odzala-Kokoua National Park within the Congo Basin.

From here you will set off on foot in search of Western Lowland Gorillas.

After three nights, travel to the Lango Baï, a vast wetland area. This location is a birders’ and wildlife-lovers’ paradise. Explore the waterways on foot or by kayak, learning about the delicate ecosystem and fascinating flora and fauna.

Continue onwards to the wide-open grasslands, gentle rivers, and towering forests, of a different area of Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Here you can explore some of the Congo Basin’s most beautiful habitat, with walks and water activities.
