Odzala
Boat, walk and trek with lowland gorilla in this luxuriant rainforest of astounding biodiversity.
Ask any tourist headed to the Republic of Congo where they're going, and they'll most likely tell you they’re making a beeline for Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Located in the country's northwest, Odzala is a phenomenal 13,600 square kilometres of pure equatorial forest, divided by ribbons of rivers and marshy clearings. Rejuvenated by the Congo Conservation Company together with NGO African Parks, the sanctuary is a refuge for critical and endangered flora and fauna, including forest elephant and buffalo, and is home to several families of habituated western lowland gorilla. Today, hardy travellers can go gorilla tracking on foot and explore the forest on walking and water safaris, making a safari in Odzala one of the most unique there is.
