Venture into one of Africa’s last great wildernesses on this 8-Day Republic of Congo Tour, the Odzala Discovery, an immersive journey through the untamed heart of the Congo Basin. This experience is crafted for travellers who crave meaningful encounters with nature, where towering rainforests, secretive wildlife, and remote landscapes come together to create something truly extraordinary.

The adventure begins with a private flight into Odzala-Kokoua National Park, a vast mosaic of ancient forests, shimmering baïs, and open savannas. Here, wildlife thrives in staggering diversity. Western Lowland Gorillas navigate the dense canopy, forest elephants leave silent paths through the clearings, and colorful birdlife fills the air with movement and sound. From the moment you arrive, the sense of being somewhere rare and deeply wild is unmistakable. The first stop is Ngaga Lodge, and here the world of primate research opens up around you. Guided by seasoned trackers and researchers who have spent decades with these animals, you’ll step into the gorillas’ realm, an intimate, humbling experience that few places on Earth can offer. Days are filled with forest walks, night explorations, and moments that reveal the smaller, magical details of this thriving ecosystem.

The journey continues at Lango Lodge, perched at the edge of a spectacular natural clearing where wildlife congregates in complete serenity. Kayak quietly along the Lekoli River, wander through streams and wetlands, and watch as forest buffalo, pigeons, monkeys, and elusive antelope move across the landscape. Lango is a place where the boundary between you and the natural world feels beautifully thin. The final days unfold at Mboko Lodge, where rivers weave through grasslands and forest, creating a varied and vibrant habitat. Here, adventure feels effortless, whether you’re cruising the river at sunset, exploring hidden waterways by kayak, or simply relaxing on the deck as butterflies drift past and the forest hums with life.

The Odzala Discovery is more than a wildlife trip, it’s a deep, sensory journey into a protected ecosystem that remains largely unchanged by time. It’s about connection: to nature, to conservation, and to the profound stillness found only in the world’s most remote landscapes. If you’re seeking a safari that goes beyond the expected. A journey filled with authenticity, awe, and discovery, then Odzala awaits.
