Forest walk

What you'll do

As far as you can get from the beaten track, the forests of Dzanga-Sangha are lush and home to incredible species of mammal and rare birdlife, best explored on foot. Head off with a private guide, who knows this forest like their own home, to explore groves of palms and some of the tallest trees in Africa, cross stretches of savannah, and walk beside quiet streams, keeping your eyes peeled for the 'Forest Five' - bongo, western lowland gorilla, forest elephant and forest buffalo, and the giant forest hog. Have your camera and binos at the ready to capture these creatures in action and, depending on the time of day, enjoy a cooling dip in the stream or sit with your feet in the water as you sip on a sundowner.
