Introduction

If the allure of mysterious tropical forests, interactions with indigenous communities, and the chance to witness an astonishing array of wildlife captivate your imagination, then this is the expedition for you.

Embark on an unparalleled wildlife adventure through the pristine rainforests of Central Africa. This journey promises to shift your perspective on the world, challenges like delayed flights, rugged roads, and muddy terrain notwithstanding.

Venture into the remote Dzanga-Sangha area, located in the northern Congo Basin in the Central African Republic. This region boasts thriving populations of Gorillas, Forest Elephants, Bongo, Sitatunga, Red Riverhogs, and countless other species of mammals, birds, plants, and trees.

Traveling in 4x4 vehicles and on foot, you'll explore the farthest reaches of the jungle, walking through saline bais and forest clearings bathed in natural light. Here, animals and birds flock to feed on mineral-rich soil. Experience authentic interactions with the Ba'aka Pygmies during a hunting expedition, giving you an intimate look into their way of life.

One of the expedition’s highlights is Dzangha Bai, a wildlife hotspot unlike any other. From a treehouse platform, marvel at the ceaseless parade of Forest Elephants as they bathe themselves in mineral-rich mud—a photographer's dream. Additional species like the Bongo are often sighted here as well.

Further enrich your experience by trekking to visit habituated families of Western Lowland Gorillas and engaging in expert-led birdwatching. Explore the SANGHA and YOBE Rivers by boat, using spotlights to discover unique nocturnal creatures such as the Galago, Potto, and Golden Cat.

The committed owners of Sangha Lodge, dedicated to conservation and rehabilitation, offer the rare opportunity to witness wild Black-bellied Pangolins in camp as they feed. Dinner conversations often feature visits from local experts and conservationists, adding another layer of intrigue to your stay.

Over the years, Sangha Lodge has also rescued numerous orphaned animals from the bushmeat trade, including 70 pangolins and various smaller mammals like Blue duikers, which have been rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

To extend your adventure, enquire about including a visit to Odzala in the Republic of Congo.
