Trip to Central African Republic and Republic of Congo

We have just finished an excellent trip to Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo, gathering new experiences and taking up new itineraries for our December 2025 trip: Welcome to the Jungle.
Visiting Dzanga Sangha
As we have said many times before, Dzanga Sangha is one of the best parks in Africa.The Elephant Bai or the Mangabeys tracking were, as always, spectacular, and very soon in July 2025 it will be possible to visit the new gorilla group.During our stay we were able to see 148 elephants at the same time in the Dzanga Bai…amazing!
Route with the Baaka through the forest
We continued with a 40-kilometre walk with the Baaka people through the forest. It was three days of trekking to the border with Congo – BRUTAL!
No doubt this will form part of many other Kumakonda trips in Central Africa, bearing in mind that spending one day is not the same as spending three days with the Baaka. The dynamic is different. It was very tough, but definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Central African Republic and Republic of Congo.
We continue navigating the Sangha River through the forests that form the triple transboundary park of Lobeke (Cameroon), Dzanga Sangha (Central African Republic) and Ndoki (Congo).
By speedboat it can take two to three hours to get from the CAR border post to Bomassa in Congo.
Visit of Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in Republic of Congo
In Nouabalé-Ndoki we visited the Wali Bai Park, spending two days in the depths of the park, where we visited the lowland gorillas at the Mondika research centre. The rest of Ndoki’s iconic sites remain closed to tourism after 8 years.
