Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of the Congo

Republic of the Congo

Central Africa’s quiet magic

RAINFORESTS, WILDLIFE AND WONDER

Congo immerses travellers in contrasts of green and shadow: from the dense rainforest of Odzala-Kokoua National Park to the tranquil waters threaded by traditional pirogue boats. Brazzaville adds colour and culture with its vibrant markets and views across the river to Kinshasa. This is a place defined by deep greens, flowing water and encounters found nowhere else on Earth.

The places you’ll go

Trek deep into the forest for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a young gorilla, sharing a moment of curiosity before he disappears among the treetops. Walk through the bais (flooded forest clearings), with the thrill of following wildlife on foot. Cool your feet in clear waters as you enjoy sundowners with buffalo grazing in the distance. Venture along the Congo River through an ecosystem shaped by waterways, forests and uninterrupted silence. Watch flocks of green pigeons and African grey parrots swirl through sun-dappled canopies, and enjoy the playful antics of monkeys from the comfort of a treetop deck.
