15-night Congo safari cruises
Embark on one of the most mysterious and authentic journeys offered today.
A Journey to the heart of the Congo Basin
The Congo Basin is the second largest forest massif in the world. It abounds in exceptional flora and fauna. Little known to the public, this region deserves more recognition. It’s a gigantic territory of forests and rivers, sparsely populated. We invite you to enter the heart of Central Africa on the Congo and Sangha rivers. Our cruises allow you to discover the indigenous peoples and the sublime biodiversity of their environment.
This Congo Safari Cruise is also an immersion into one of the last intact lungs of the planet.
NAVIGATION
from May to January on Congo and Sangha rivers
COUNTRY
Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazaville)
THE GREAT ASCENT OF THE CONGO AND SANGHA RIVERS: 550 MILES FROM BRAZZAVILLE TO OUESSO
Congo cruises: 15 NIGHTS / 16 DAYS
3 National Parks, 4 countries (Republic of Congo, DRC, Cameroon and the Central African Republic)
Departing from Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo, city of Rumba, sapeurs and the Poto-Poto art school, we embark on a unique 15-night voyage on the Congo and Sangha rivers, an unforgettable safari cruise.
During this tour, we spend 5 days in the Sangha trinational, admiring its 3 national parks in 3 different countries: Dzanga Sangha in the Central African Republic, Nouabalé Ndoki in the Republic of Congo and Loubéké in Cameroon. We also see bonobos in the DRC forest at Tshumbiri.
Over almost 1,000 km, our cruise “The Great Ascent” takes us from the green hills and swampy forests of the Sangha to reach the cathedral forests inhabited by thousands of gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants, Bongos, Buffalos and over 350 species of birds.
Every day, we take launch boats or canoes up forgotten tributaries in search of the wonders that nature has to offer.
The peoples of the forest will be our guides. We will share their way of life and their unique knowledge, transmitted for centuries.
Throughout the evening, in the calm of our comfortable ship surrounded by this beautiful natural setting, sipping a glass of wine, we address the big issues linked to the Congo to learn more about the preservation of biodiversity, the history of the Congo, the history of its peoples…
On the 16th day, we leave the forest behind, flying over the entire canopy. The journey will come to an end, but what you will have seen – landscapes and animals that few people have had the chance to see – will remain etched in your memory forever.
