Republic of Congo

Pioneering eco-tourism hotspot

The Republic of Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville as it is sometimes named (not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which is a completely different country) is an unspoilt conservation hotspot and exotic safari destination. The safari experience here combines river ecosystems and savannahs with wildlife rich bais (clearings) and steamy jungles teeming with forest elephants, chimpanzees, butterflies, colourful funghi, brilliant birdlife and plenty of primates including the critically endangered western lowland gorilla.

Tourism is a relatively new, but growing, sector in the Republic of Congo and our carefully selected operators here are tirelessly committed to preserving Congo’s wilderness areas. We firmly believe that their well managed eco-tourism approach will put the Congo on the map, provide local sustainable development and help to protect the forests by diversifying the economy away from petrochemicals.

The Republic of Congo is a destination for those looking for a wild and unique safari adventure. Few have trodden the Congo’s wilderness areas and this presents an exciting opportunity to be among the first to discover their astonishing biodiversity and pave the way for a sustainable future.

Thank you for my awesome Congo adventure. I left Odzala covered in tsetse and sand fly bites but a very happy girl. Odzala is a great National Park, with its different habitats, wonderful wildlife and unspoiled by hordes of people.
