Republic of the Congo & Central African Republic
WHAT WE LOVE: The Republic of the Congo and Central African Republic, both former French colonies, are 2 of the 6 countries across which the Congo Basin expands. Second in size to the mighty Amazon, the forests of the Congo Basin contain the greatest number of mammals, primates, birds, amphibians, fish and swallowtail butterflies in Africa. More than a 1,000 species of bird can be found here. The basin is a total of 3.7 million km2 and is home to some of the largest undisturbed stands of tropical rainforest on the planet, in addition to large wetlands. Connecting two of the most iconic locations - Odzala-Kokoua and Dzanga-Sangha National Parks - within this rainforest wilderness offers the most exciting opportunity to discover a part of Africa in a truly pioneering way, while making a significant contribution to the long-term conservation and community sustainability of this region. This is no longer the 'Heart of Darkness'. This is Africa unmasked, beautiful and powerful. This is the most exciting destination to be opening to tourism. This is CONGO CONSERVATION COMPANY waiting for you to discover the most remarkable and unspoilt natural wonders of the continent.

Kiri Camp
Kiri is located on the western side of a 100,000-acre private concession (also home to Machaba’s Gomoti Plains), 20 kilometres southwest of Chiefs Island. The 10 tents are right on the Kiri River under a canopy of Jackalberry trees. A seasonal inundation of water every year creates vast floodplains of shallow water around the camp, perfect for tranquil mokoro rides. When it recedes, the islands left behind are ideal for walking safaris and game drives amongst the iconic wildlife of the Okavango Delta.
