Within the central heart of Africa lies a tapestry of interconnecting streams, deep rivers, mineral-rich deposits, open savannahs, and dense forests. It is a pristine ecosystem and one of our planet's last intact biodiverse regions. This area is home to over 10,000 species of tropical plant life, of which 30% is found nowhere else on earth, and over 400 species of mammals, 1,000 species of birds, and 700 species of aquatic life. This is the Congo Basin, and it makes up one of the most important wilderness areas left on earth.
Only an estimated 100,000 Western Lowland Gorillas are left in the wild, and Odzala-Kokoua National Park is home to a quarter of them. The camps here are science-based and very comfortable.
