Everything we offer in the Central African Republic sits inside Dzanga-Sangha, a protected rainforest in the far south-west, on the borders with Cameroon and the Republic of the Congo. Here, you'll track western lowland gorillas on foot, watch forest elephants gather in the open clearing of Dzanga bai, and spend an afternoon observing the endangered pangolin. This is a destination for seasoned safari-goers rather than first-timers or families: it's hot and humid, the permits take patience, and a couple of African trips under your belt will help. Prices range from USD 1,700 to USD 1,800 per person per night. Camps here are small, with around seven rooms each, so you'll need to book several months ahead.
