Situated in the southwestern Central African Republic, the Dzanga-Sangha Reserve is a protected sanctuary that forms part of the Sangha Trinational Protected Area, a UNESCO Heritage Site that connects the Lobeke Park in Cameroon, Dzanga-Ndoki National Park in the Central African Republic, and Nouabale Ndoki Park in the Congo. The area is internationally renowned for its "mosaic of ecosystems", including lowland rainforests, rivers, streams, grassy glades called bais and moisture-laden marshes. The rich landscape is home to top predators and rare and endangered species including bongo and sitatunga antelopes, forest buffalos, lowland gorillas, forest elephants, and other mammals, birds, trees, and plant species that cover the tropical terrain.
