The dining area has large tables for the guests to dine communally and there are sensational wide views looking over the Sangha River. The bar is well stocked with cold beers and drinks, ice is made from bottled water so a refreshing drink is always available at the end of the day.

Dining

The kitchen is small but still managed to produce good food; a combination of Western and African flavours is generally served.

Activities

The main activities here are visiting the Dzanga National Park to track the rare Western Lowland Gorillas and going to Dzanga Bai to find the Forest Elephants. However there is a lot more to do in the area for those wanting to spend more time here. The birding is fantastic, as is the fishing where you can go on the hunt for a Goliath Tiger Fish. There are sundowner boat trips down the Sangha and Babongo Rivers and spotlighting for nocturnal species. Guests also have the opportunity to join the local Ba’aka people on a net hunt!

Responsible Tourism

The lodge is run for the purpose of sustainable tourism and focuses on community involvement and development in the hope that it will become a model for sustainable tourism in Africa.
