NGAGA CAMP | Odzala Kokoua National Park
Ngaga Camp, located just outside the park boundary in the Ndzehe concession, overlooks a beautiful open glade within primary forest above a forest stream. The Camp is situated within the overlapping home ranges of several groups of western lowland gorillas, two of which are habituated.
Ngaga is truly gorilla central. A focal point for world-class research as well as unforgettable primate encounters, Ngaga Camp’s unique design evokes the fun and mystery of childhood treehouses. From the six elevated guest rooms, wraparound walkways allow you to peer directly into the forest canopy. Like Lango, the Camp is constructed from natural materials using traditional techniques.

Mboko Lodge is the home of adventure. A safari experience of unparalleled intimacy, our guided walks reveal the splendor of the Congolese Basin and its pristine rainforests. Quiet, reverent, and unhurried, they foster a deeper understanding of this precious ecosystem and the flora and fauna it shelters. Hear the sounds of the forest, smell the dewy humidity, and feel connected to something greater than yourself. Behold birds with breathtaking plumage and plants so rare they haven’t been named yet. Each walk promises something different — it is up to fickle nature to decide. But each usually ends in a delicious home-cooked meal or a delightful round of sundowners in a one-of-a-kind setting.

*Forest Buffalo

Dip your paddle into the pristine waterways of the Congo Basin and explore the wilderness from a new angle. As you drift along, keep your eyes open (and camera poised) for cavorting monkeys, colorful birds, and elephants, buffalo, and antelope grazing on the banks. Allow the beauty and tranquility of your surroundings to soothe your soul.
From the boat launch just outside Mboko Lodge, you’ll explore the gentle Lekoli River and its byways and baïs along with your guide. No experience is required; a dry bag is recommended to protect your camera and other gear.
Explore the river environment from the comfort of an open-air motor skiff, cruising the winding waterways and contemplating its astounding biodiversity: elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, birds, insects, and innumerable trees and plants. Morning cruises place you at the heart of the awakening jungle; afternoon cruises are capped by the gossamer grandeur of an African sunset.
River cruises depart from the boat launch located just outside of Mboko Lodge. Our skiffs are simple but comfortable and engineered to allow us to explore the Lekoli River and its tributaries, backwaters, and baïs, while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Get wet and dirty by exploring the river on foot at your own pace.
The aging termite mounds are the calling card of Mboko and fleck the landscape.
