You journey of the senses starts in Brazzaville, a colourful melting pot of authenticity. Explore the markets, visit the turquoise-tiled Basilique Sainte-Anne and admire the fashion excesses of the “Congo Sapeurs”. Since you’ve only just arrived, we recommend a boat ride on the mighty Congo River (the second largest in Africa) to relax a bit and also get a good sense of your location. While calm drifting down the stream you will even be able to see the neighbouring country Congo-Kinshasa. For the lovers of architecture visit the beautiful Basilique Sainte-Anne and if you like markets, our top choice is Le Marché de Poto Poto. 

Venture onto the south central part of Odzala-Kokoua National Park and arrive at Lango Camp. This small, intimate property with only six rooms makes everyone’s childhood dream of your own treehouse in the rainforest true. The main building and rooms are tucked away in the lush vegetation of the jungle, while a huge viewing deck looks out onto the characteristic marshy clearing, the bais, which are home to indigenous species of hippo, buffalo and hyena. Go for walks along the edges of the bai scaring off African Green Pigeons and Grey Parrots or spotting the beautiful Western Sitatunga antelope. Another highlight are watching small herds of Forest Elephants passing through, being slightly smaller and looking quite different from their cousins in the rest of Africa.
