Please leave your contact details and enter a short description of your dream adventure and we will forward your request to this travel company and 2 more industry expert companies that organise best trips in Republic of the Congo. They will be in touch with tailored proposals within three working days.
This Odzala Kokoua trip is not a standard African safari. Best described as an active discovery within very remote rainforests of the Congo Basin. Suitable for seasoned African travellers for whom strict preparations and low expectations are the norm.
Keen naturalists, photographers and active participants will reap rich rewards with a very rare experience here.
The Odzala-Kokoua Discovery is a set date departure starting and ending in Brazzaville on Thursdays only. Deviations from this schedule will increase costs substantially.
Brazzaville is a safe African city in which we recommend a minimum 2 night stay before or after.
The temperature is fairly even throughout the year, sitting at around 30C on average.
We provide comprehensive fact files and checklists for this trip.
We don’t recommend this trip for first-timers to Africa. (Read this article if you’re planning your first African safari)
