Let Us Design Your Dream Republic of Congo Safari
Far from the well-trodden tourist trails, the Republic of the Congo offers a raw, untamed safari experience unlike anywhere else in Africa. This hidden gem in Central Africa—bordered by Gabon and Cameroon—is one of the last true wildernesses, where lush rainforests stretch for miles and nature thrives in magnificent abundance.
Often overshadowed by its larger neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this separate nation is a destination of its own, covered in over 60% tropical forest and home to the world’s second-largest rainforest. It’s a place where you can witness rare and endangered wildlife, from lowland gorillas to forest elephants, and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.
With only a few intrepid travelers making their way here each year, the Republic of the Congo promises an exclusive and authentic adventure. Track gorillas through the forest, spot elusive creatures at remote baïs (forest clearings), and immerse yourself in ecosystems that have remained virtually untouched for centuries.
This is a destination for those who seek the extraordinary, the secluded, and the wild.

Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!Â
