The river, birding, wildlife, research and forest experiences are dynamic and engaging as are the cultural opportunities to spend time with the Ba'Aka people.

New 10 and 11-night journeys were launched connecting Odzala-Kokoua National Park with the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve through a new access route to Central African Republic by way of an airstrip at Kabo in Republic of the Congo and a boat journey up the Sangha River to Sangha Lodge. Remote areas in Africa are under threat and need to be commercially viable in order to be protected. This is the vision of Congo Conservation Company.

Spend time on the research platform observing the diverse wildlife activity around the remote baï and enjoying a packed lunch. Forest Elephants and Forest Buffalo frequent the baï allowing guests to admire their interactions and behaviour as they enjoy mud baths and search for minerals in the water.
Spend the afternoon tracking gorillas and mangabeys (if the gorillas require a long walk and
time does not allow, the mangabey tracking will be included on an alternate day).
Spend the morning walking amongst some of the tallest trees in the Congo Basin. The experience will humble you as you appreciate the enormity of the trees that surround you.
Enjoy a forest night walk to view nocturnal forest life that comes alive as soon as darkness falls.
Spend time with the researchers who protect and monitor the pangolins activity and behaviour each day. A you learn about their habitats and way of life, you will learn to appreciate this endangered species more than ever before.
Guests will meet with the tribe and head out on a hunt for an animal. Guests can be as involved as they wish and help carry the net or hold the net when a member of the tribe catches something. If they do, it is a tradition to pray for that animal.
Evening boat or kayak sundowners on the Lekoli River before a fresh G&T and dinner at the Lodge.
