Covered by vast expanses of pristine rainforest threaded with powerful rivers and cascading waterfalls, the Republic of the Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville, is a remarkable destination for adventurous travellers seeking an authentic African wilderness experience. Much of the country lies within the Congo Basin, home to the world's second-largest tropical rainforest and one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth. This extraordinary ecosystem supports an incredible variety of wildlife, including western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants, buffalo, hippos, the elusive bongo antelope and countless bird species. Visitors can swim in crystal-clear rivers, kayak along winding waterways and explore rainforest trails alive with the sounds of monkeys and tropical birds. For a cultural contrast, the capital city, Brazzaville, offers a vibrant blend of French influence, colourful markets, striking architecture and fascinating historical landmarks, making it one of Central Africa's most captivating urban destinations.
Mbomo is a village which serves as the capital of the Mbomo district in the Cuvette-Ouest Region in the western part of the Republic of Congo.
Deep in the dense Congo rainforest is a place where it is possible to meet one of the great apes of Africa: the Western Lowland Gorilla. This, combined with the exploration of a remote, thriving and unspoiled rainforest system, is the Odzala experience. This region of the vast Congo Basin contains the world’s second-largest tropical rainforest, surpassed only by the Amazon. Welcome to Odzala-Kokoua.
