A Kamba Safari in the Republic of Congo offers stays at three distinct camps, each providing a unique window into the diverse ecosystems and wildlife of the region.

First Camp: Lango Camp - Nestled on the edge of the Lango Bai, this camp offers guests a picturesque view of a marshy clearing in the forest where wildlife congregates. Elevated wooden walkways connect airy, thatched-roof rooms that overlook the bai, providing a comfortable and immersive rainforest experience. Guests can expect to see forest buffaloes, several species of duiker, and large flocks of African grey parrots. The nearby streams and marshes also attract lowland gorillas, which sometimes venture into the clearing.

Second Camp: Mboko Camp - Located along the banks of the Lekoli River, Mboko Camp offers a blend of forest and savannah landscapes, providing guests with opportunities to explore a wider range of Congo's ecosystems. The camp’s open design allows uninterrupted views of the river and the grasslands beyond, where herds of forest elephants roam and bongo antelopes can occasionally be seen. Night drives and boat trips from this camp also offer glimpses of nocturnal animals like the rare pangolin and the spotted hyena.

Third Camp: Ngaga Camp - Deep in the heart of the forest, Ngaga Camp is in the epicenter of western lowland gorilla territory. The camp is unobtrusively designed to fit within the forest environment, with natural materials that echo the surrounding wilderness. This location is renowned for its gorilla research centers nearby, making it the perfect base for guided treks to observe these majestic primates in their natural setting. Besides gorillas, guests might also encounter chimpanzees and a variety of monkeys, including the grey-cheeked mangabey and the agile red-tailed monkey.

This is  an immersive experience into one of the most untouched wilderness areas on the planet. As guests step into the dense, vibrant rainforests, they are greeted by a chorus of exotic birds, the distant calls of primates, and the rustling of the undergrowth that signals the presence of myriad unseen creatures. This initial venture into the forest is both thrilling and serene, setting the tone for a journey of discovery and connection with nature.

The safaris are led by knowledgeable local guides, who share their deep understanding of the ecosystem and the behaviours of the wildlife. These guides are skilled at spotting hidden wildlife, from the elusive forest elephants to the endangered western lowland gorillas, ensuring that guests have the best chances of witnessing these incredible animals in their natural habitat. Their insights enrich the experience, weaving stories of the forest's ecology with each step through the dense foliage.

Accommodations during the safari are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the environment, offering comfort while minimizing environmental impact. Nights are spent in eco-friendly camps or lodges nestled in the heart of the forest, where guests can unwind to the natural symphony of the nocturnal forest life. This close proximity to nature serves as a constant reminder of the pristine beauty of the Congo Basin and the importance of efforts to preserve it.

The overall experience of a Kamba Safari is not just about observing wildlife, but about understanding and appreciating the complexity of the ecosystems. It's an opportunity to disconnect from the hustle of modern life and reconnect with nature in a profound way. The journey through the Republic of Congo's wild landscapes is a transformative experience that stays with guests long after they return home, often sparking a lifelong passion for wildlife and conservation.
