Hotels in Republic of the Congo

Ngaga Lodge

Odzala

Popular |

6 Rooms

From $1.7K per person/night

Gorillas, rustic luxury and beautiful scenery in the Congo's wild and remote rain-forest.

Kamba Africa operates three camps in the northern parts of The Republic of Congo, in and around the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. This one, Ngaga Lodge, is situated in the heart of the Ndzehi Forest just outside the park boundary and is undoubtedly the best location in Africa to view western lowland gorillas. Gorilla trekking is the main focus at the camp. Still, other activities include exploring the tropical forest on various walking trails, and 'night walks' in search of the elusive nocturnal primates in the area. But being in this remote and truly special environment is extraordinary and will make you want to stay forever.

Mboko Lodge

12 Rooms

From $1.7K per person/night

Explore the wild and wonderful Congo rain-forest on river cruises and kayaking safaris.

Kamba operate three camps in the northern parts of The Republic of Congo in and around the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, and the largest camp of the three is Mboko. Twelve rooms are spread along a tributary of the stunning Lekolo River, right on the edge of the tropical forest and overlooking a lush, meadow-like savannah. Activities include game drives, explorations on foot and traditional pirogue trips, but you might not have to go far for your game viewing either with forest buffalo, elephant and hyena regular visitors to the camp. This is also a place for breath-taking views, spectacular star-gazing and simply enjoying all the mesmerising rainforest has to offer.

6 Rooms

From $1.7K per person/night

Conservation ethics and wild luxury in one of Africa's remotest and least-explored places.

Kamba African Rainforest Experiences operates three camps in the northern parts of The Republic of Congo in and around the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Lango is a luxurious camp in a breathtaking setting, sandwiched between tropical rainforest and wetland in the southern section of the national park. The unique location offers the chance to explore the pristine forest in total seclusion, on game drives, pirogue trips and forest walks. The remarkable environment will enthral you at every turn, and the unusual wildlife simply feels like an added bonus. It's certainly a tourism venture with many challenges, but one that definitely deserves support.

We recently returned from an incredible safari through Kenya and Tanzania, and we couldn't be happier with our experience working with Timbuktu Travel. Joanna and her team were wonderful from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted from our safari and designed an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. They helped us prepare for every aspect of the trip, answered our questions along the way, and made sure everything ran seamlessly once we arrived in Africa. From the accommodations and guides to the transfers and overall coordination, everything was exceptionally well organized. We were also celebrating a milestone anniversary, and Joanna and her team went above and beyond to make it special. They arranged anniversary surprises at every stop, including cakes, traditional celebration songs, and even a private dinner. These thoughtful touches made an already amazing trip even more memorable. We also want to recognize Joachim, our private guide for the final four days of our safari. He was friendly, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. He made the final part of our journey particularly enjoyable. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We saw incredible wildlife, stayed at wonderful camps, and never had to worry about the logistics. Timbuktu took care of everything, allowing us to simply enjoy the adventure. We can't thank Joanna, Joachim, and the entire Timbuktu team enough for creating such an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Timbuktu Travel to anyone planning an African safari.

I have dealt with many, many travel companies and Timbuktu is one of the best. Annie could not have been more helpful, patient and knowledgeable. The attention to detail was amazing - everyone was where they needed to be at the right time. We were met at the airports as planned; the drivers were on time; the hotels were wonderful, the guides made the trip so very memorable. Annie went well above and beyond in working everything out for us. She even made reservations at a local restaurant for us to get a true taste of South African cooking and culture. In Zimbabwe, she booked us a private boat for a sunset cruise with drinks and light refreshments - spectacular! I really can't say enough good things about working with Timbuktu and Annie, in particular. Even though we made many changes along the way and there were ten of us to please, she was able to pull of a great itinerary for us and keep us within range of our original budget. I highly recommend Timbuktu.
