Bangui & Bayanga by Private Charter

Day notes

You have four days in the Dzangha Sangha, with many activities, including:

• Bai Hokou: You make your way to Bai Hokou Research Camp, from where you will be tracking the only habituated lowland gorillas. Rangers will locate their sleeping points from the evening before, where you then head out off in search of them. This is currently the largest number of lowland habituated gorillas, making this a real privilege as very few people have had the opportunity the track these lowland gorillas
• Dzangha Bai: Here you make your way to the Dzangha Bai. A Bai is a natural forest clearing where a variety of forest animals come in to feed on the mineralrich soil. You observe the wildlife from a tree line hide. Here you can expect to see forest elephants (an average of 40 – 120 turn up throughout the day in the Bai!), bongos (the largest and heaviest of the antelopes), sitatunga (swamp dwelling antelopes), red river hogs and myriad bird species. This is a true wildlife experience, giving you a chance to see some truly rare creatures in the midst of the second largest rainforest in the world.
• Activities with the Ba’Aka: A chance to mingle with the local pygmy tribe and to take part in some traditional net hunting within the forest. This is a very unique experience as you are taught the intricacies of living in the forest, with the opportunity to learn about the medicinal plants that they gather and what they’re used for.

Your overnight arrangements during these days will be at the Sangha Lodge on a full board basis.
