Need To Know
Travel within Central Africa is not as scary as it sounds but it is within Central Africa where you will find Africa in its raw form, completely uncommercialised or changed by modern tourism and most outside influences.
Safaris
Sangha Lodge's situation on the bank of the Sangha River make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Situated on the edge of the Dzangha Sangha reserve, we have easy access to all activities in the park as well as some of our own that we are developing. Spotlighting around the camp and from the boat to find some of the more unusual nocturnal species like Galago, Potto, Gennet, Civit, Golden Cat, Hammer-Bat and a number of owls.
We also have a small project with the Ba'aka people where we go into the forest and spend the night with them in a forest camp. The dimension of music and dance that you experience here is something that few westerners will ever see. All monies from this activity go directly to the Ba'aka to help with education and health issues.
Wildlife
A host of great wildlife is the main attraction of the Dzanga Sangha National Park. These include Forest Elephants, Western Lowland Gorillas, Chimpanzees, several species of monkeys, Forest Buffalos, Bongos, Giant Forest Hog, Red River Hog, and a number of smaller antelopes. While the birds, butterflies, and dragonflies add to the amazing spectacle that makes the rainforest special. The rivers contain 3 species of crocodile, and some impressive fish species, including Goliath Tiger Fish.
