Cameroon & C.A.R

Few places on earth rival Cameroon and the Central African Republic (CAR) for luscious, untouched rainforest. The two countries boast some of the richest, most diverse and pristine habitats on earth, home to elusive species like forest elephants, gentle lowland gorillas and an array of flora and fauna. Warm, hospitable tribespeople have called these regions home for millennia, passing on an innate guardianship of the natural world from generation to generation.

Our tour to Cameroon and the CAR heads straight for the bountiful rainforest interiors of both countries. On the way you will visit the colonial-era mining town of Batouri, pass pineapple plantations and forests and stop off at Bantu villages to meet the Baka people. Once in CAR a boat ride across the mighty Sangha River will transport you into the epicentre of this natural world. It’s here at the world-famous Dzanga Bai Reserve, staying over at the Sangha Lodge (ran by legendary conservationist Rod Cassidy) where you’ll get the opportunity to track gorillas, observe families of playful forest elephants by the river and stay overnight with the Baka tribespeople. Few opportunities on earth provide a more immersive experience in the heart of the rainforest.
